    OUR SATISFIED CUSTOMERS

    Become an active contributor to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals

    When you place an order for your gifting needs with Tenacious Bee, you are actively joining hands with us to empower rural women, revive mountain ecologies, and enrich marginalised communities. Our work towards building sustainable circular economies around small-scale beekeeping is helping us achieve the objectives of four Global Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Here is How!

    SDG#1 : NO POVERTY

    Tenacious Bee works closely with marginalised communities in some of the most fragile ecosystems of the Western Himalaya. Our engagement with farmers, women and beekeepers in these communities aims to eradicate poverty, even if at a small scale, by ensuring the following:

    • Training and Employing women in rural communities, providing them with a dignified monthly income to support themselves, usually for the first time in their lives!

    • Providing Beekeepers with knowledge and tools to practice scientific and ethical beekeeping- and giving them premium rates for their produce when they follow these parameters.

    • Incentivising local farmers to practice permaculture farming on their small farms, and grow a variety of native pollinator friendly flowers and herbs by being their most reliable customers for these.

    SDG#5 : GENDER EQUALITY

    Tenacious Bee Collective is committed to bridge gender divides that have traditionally existed in rural mountain communities across Himachal Pradesh. While women have always taken on the lion’s share of house, cattle, and farm labour, they have rarely had any financial independence, and are entirely reliant on the men of the family for any support. Persisting conservative views on women participating in formal work structures, and hesitancy in sending them far from home are major reasons for this disparity. Our village workshop in the Kangra district is able to overcome these hurdles by offering women exciting employment opportunities in a friendly environment, all within walking distance of their homes. They take care of the farm, make all our beeswax products, and package and label everything with love and diligence, and have quickly become the backbone of Tenacious Bee Collective.

    SDG#8 : DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

    It is our Collective’s long term goal to promote and facilitate climate change resilient, sustainable economic growth in rural mountain communities through small-scale beekeeping and its many allied activities. Currently, our adopted village in the Kangra District is a research ground, where we are experimenting with a variety of these allied activities, including developing and producing beeswax products that are deeply rooted in the local terroir, and reviving traditional beekeeping practices within vernacular houses- creating unique and exciting work opportunities at the village level. With every order you place, the Collective is able to expand our interventions and create more sustainable and dignified employment in remote communities across the western Himalaya- one village at a time.

    SDG#15 : LIFE ON LAND

    A critical element of the intervention in our Kangra Village is a small piece of leased agricultural land where Tenacious Bee has been growing herbs, flowers, traditional vegetables and grains that are native to this region using permaculture principles. The location of the farm near the panchayat ghar makes it visually accessible to the community, who over the years have started working with us and growing some of these pollinator friendly plants in their own small farms. Our long term goal with these activities is to increase biodiversity within every farmer’s land, which will then attract more native bees and pollinators, who will then promote more biodiversity- triggering a positive chain reaction that will benefit both the community and the local ecology in immeasurable ways.
    To make a meaningful contribution to achieving these goals, fill out this form to place an order for our sensitively packaged premium hive products for your upcoming festive or corporate event.
