Public benefits

The most direct benefit to those taking part in any of our activities will be the health benefits of working outside in the fresh air coupled with the manual labour associated with these activities. When honey is harvested along with pollen and propolis the health benefits will be added to for the like of hay fever sufferers. Friendships with our

fellow participants will be made that will last for a lifetime with every support offered to any that may need it. The benefits can be demonstrated by the general health and well being of all who take part in the activities of our program. One teaspoon of honey daily will help hay fever sufferers and pollen and propolis can be added to various remedies such as hand creams and health drinks/foods. While there may be lifting injuries and/or stings there will be no harm arising from from any of our activities.
