What is a Bee Sanctuary? Paul Handrick explains more about Ireland’s first one

Interesting conversation with Paul Handrick, founder of Ireland’s first Bee Sanctuary

The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland is the only dedicated native wild bee sanctuary on the planet.

What is a Bee Sanctuary?

More about the sanctuary

No hives. No honey.

55 acres – the size of 31 football pitches – of habitat which we have been returning to nature since 2012.

Nestled in the foothills of the Wicklow mountains we are a pause in the chaos of modern life.

We advocate for and educate about our endangered wild bee populations and are a real life real time example of the simple measures we can all take to address this serious issue. When it comes to bees, nature and the planet it’s time to start giving and stop taking.

Here on THE BEE SANCTUARY OF IRELAND we give everything. We’re all in. See more on the website here
