The scent of orange trees in full bloom is probably irresistible for bees — it certainly is for us!
Animal Welfare
At Lush, it is essential that we work with producers who practice beekeeping methods that ensure the bees and their colony come first. We work with beekeepers who understand the importance of managing hives in a minimally-invasive way and who ensure their methods support the bees natural behaviours. The beekeepers prioritize the health of their hives, not just the production of honey.
Where possible, we aim to work directly with beekeepers who provide full traceability and insight into their methods, ensuring the welfare of honeybees is respected in our supply chain. We routinely engage with our beekeepers and select those who are active in their communities, furthering the conversation on beekeeping, honeybee health and the environment.
Our beekeepers deeply honor the relationship between honey and the environments the bees forage in. Without healthy biodiverse environments, successful hives and honey production could not be possible.
