"When I first got in that bee suit I was so, so scared…I could feel myself shaking inside but every week when I went back to the bees it got easier. The fact I’ve managed to conquer one of my biggest fears is an achievement in itself." (Bee Guardian, 17)
The Golden Company offers organisations the opportunity to support their own urban beehive across the City of London and in the surrounding area. To ensure the long term success of these 'Golden City' colonies we can arrange to plant urban wildflower meadows and bee friendly herbs at suitable locations nearby, working closely with our partners at  Our colonies are set up and managed by us. Golden City beehives help to fund the work we do with young people in the capital, whilst also helping to keep London’s bee population strong and providing a small income to our Bee Guard ians. Come harvest time, sponsoring organisations receive a share of the harvested honey for staff to enjoy. All profits from Golden City hives are re-invested to train more young people in beekeeping and business skills. "Our staff especially enjoyed having the opportunity to meet the deeply committed young people" (Karen Tate, Linklaters). We have opportunities available to sponsor one of our training hives at our Hackney apiary, which includes a corporate honey harvest event at your offices. We won't be able to take on any further rooftop hives in the City of London square mile in 2011 to ensure that all our bee colonies have sufficient forage and to ensure we can deal adequately with any swarming events.
