Who are these 1001 bees?

When I was little, I was a fan of bees just like other children are obsessed with dinosaurs! Was it the influence of the cartoon Maya the Bee (I admit, I grew up in the 80s) or had I been mysteriously stung by a bee? which had inoculated me with boundless admiration for these fascinating insects?

Anyway, my mother's mission was to find me black and yellow t-shirts, bed sheets, and stuffed animals, with honeycomb or winged shapes, or representing the queen of insects: I imagined her down as soft as my pillows?

Growing up, I discovered that the mortality rate of my favorite animal exceeded 30%! I learned the terrifying term “colony collapse disorder”.

Bees are threatened by pesticides, but also by intensive farming which, by eradicating wildflowers and destroying biotopes, deprives them of food. They are also subject to new diseases, because hives and species are moved too much.

As I had just retrained in e-commerce, I wanted to create a website with a dual objective:

• Offer as many items as possible featuring these workers and create an offer that far exceeds my childhood collection.
• Contribute to the preservation of Apis mellifera mellifera, the black bee of our regions.

Thus, on 1001bees.com, we sponsor 2,000 bees per year, which contributes to the development of colonies. We also commit to certain flagship products, such as Bee Wraps, the beeswax food packaging that advantageously replaces plastic film, and thus preserves the environment. If our Bee Wraps are a tiny bit more expensive than elsewhere, it's because they are made in France, they display double Bio and Ecocert certification and they contain no dyes!

Our next step: to offer you regional honey, real honey?, not a “crap product”! Don't hesitate to subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed!
