Saving bees — restoring ecosystems

Apisfera is an initiative to restore natural ecosystems through the care of honey bees

We bring together people ready to tackle one of the most important environmental challenges of our time

Important background

Why does it matter?

Bees play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity

If they disappear, it will cause a serious imbalance in natural systems

Bees pollinate up to 70% of plants, providing 90% of food products on the global market

70%

They help restore vegetation by 30–50%, creating habitats for many plant and animal species

50%

Every third meal exists thanks to pollination, especially by bees

33%

Over 40% of bee species are under threat of extinction

40%

Work background

What do we do?

Results of our work in just 5 years

Created a unique model of nature-based beekeeping

It helps quickly restore bee populations in natural ecosystems
icon

Installed over 450 log hives in natural conditions

More hives = more stable microclimate and conditions for bee population growth
icon

Created "return points" — natural areas where bees can thrive and help restore ecosystems

These points already exist in Tver, Moscow, Kaluga, Yaroslavl, and Novosibirsk regions

Arboriculture

We teach arboriculture (tree work using rope techniques) and wooden hive creation

Log hives are artificial dwellings that provide bees with safe living and breeding spaces

Installing these in forests and other ecosystems can boost local bee populations

You will learn to:

  • • Design hive installation projects based on local ecosystems
  • • Collaborate with local communities and like-minded people
  • • Monitor areas for the presence of wild bees
  • • Map out locations for hive installation
