Our mission

The bees live as they naturally would and their benefits reach more people. Our goal is to raise Yem’s Zone bee population throughout the city and at the same time spread awareness among the community.

Our hope is that these backyard hives will facilitate a dialogue among neighbours, friends, family and the community at large about the huge importance of bees.
