Great interview with Garry Connolly, one of the originators of the Irish DCs for Bees initiative. Striking title image sourced from the awesome bee image project here

An industry initiative led by Host in Ireland to help save Ireland’s declining bee population.
The people of this industry are looking to make a difference. This initiative gives them the opportunity to not only make an individual difference but the tools to educate, advocate, create awareness and take action.
Why we can Bee part of the solution, DCs for Bees with Garry Connolly
Why Are We Doing This?
As well as helping fight one of the greatest threats not only to bees but to the entire planet there are numerous benefits to coming together as an industry for this initiative:
Snowball effect:
Act as an exemplar for other industries to follow suit and make a real difference
Community with a common purpose:
Bring an industry together in a way that has never been done before
Awareness:
Reach a far wider audience than the Native Woodland Trust or the National Biodiversity Data Centre could do alone??Meaningful Action:
Help businesses to create and supplement a meaningful CSR programme
Go global
This programme can act as a blueprint for our members’ businesses to make an even bigger impact within their global offices
Do the right thing right:
People in the industry want to make a difference but it’s not always clear how to go about it in a way that doesn’t create unintended consequences. By working with the Native Woodland Trust and the National Biodiversity Data Centre we can do our very best to ensure the actions we take are the right ones and as impactful as possible.
