Our Mission
Saving the Yucatan Bees and Habitat
In the wake of the recent inauguration of the 'Tren Maya', or Mayan Train, we've witnessed a significant impact on the delicate habitats of our tiny allies. This development poses an added challenge to one of the planet's most extensive ecosystems, and the influx of tourism threatens to exacerbate the situation. However, at Artisanal Bee, we see an opportunity amidst these challenges. Our mission is to channel our profits into creating and expanding safe havens for these vital creatures. By investing in additional beehives, we're committed to providing a thriving sanctuary for our friends, ensuring their preservation and the health of the ecosystem they support.
