My battle for the bees

After a long period of deliberation, searching and doubting, I finally started something small but meaningful - selling a special keychain. This little item isn't just an accessory; it symbolises the joy and strength that bees bring us. Spring and summer were a challenging time, with the rise of the Asian hornet taking a heavy toll. Unfortunately, I lost a number of my bee colonies. It's hard to admit that, but as a beekeeper, it hurts to see the bees suffer and die.

I don't live in an area where bees have easy access to adequate food. These food shortages, combined with the Asian hornet attack, have weakened bee colonies. The stress of the bees, which can only return part of their harvesting bees safely to the hives, is further exacerbated by the varroa mite. All in all, this has led to a bad year for my bees.

During this difficult season, I have seen bees bravely fight back against the hornet to protect their people. Despite the protective measures I have taken, such as placing a kind of muzzle on the cabinet, the threat remains real. Nevertheless, I am in the energy of the bees and I try to protect them as best I can.

I ask you for support so that I can in turn protect and strengthen the bees. Without bees, we can't go on. They are essential to our ecosystem and survival. That is why I am trying to further spread the energy of the bees among you all in different ways.
