Regenerative beekeeping is an innovative approach that Carbon-Hive uses to increase the efficiency of biome restoration, as bees are essential natural pollinators that help restore seed banks by increasing pollination levels. We also involve local communities in recognizing and valuing the importance of forest restoration and preservation, through the jobs and income generated by beekeeping and various products provided by forests, which justify and encourage their recovery and conservation. A new relationship between humans and the environment is also one of our goals.
NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS
By promoting healthy habitats for bees and other pollinators, regenerative beekeeping acts as a form of nature-based solution, integrating practices that restore ecological functionality and provide benefits for biodiversity, water, soil, and human communities.
FOCUS ON THE CAATINGA
With a focus on the Caatinga, a semi-arid biome unique to Brazil and the most densely populated in the world, a reservoir of biodiversity that faces growing threats due to climate change and the expansion of human activities, Carbon-Hive is at the forefront of developing innovative solutions to protect and revitalize this essential ecosystem.
In strategic partnership with 6BIOS, bee activity is monitored using telemetry sensors installed in the hives. These sensors collect essential data on the activity, health, and development of the colonies, which directly reflect pollination patterns and the overall health of ecosystems.
To complement this information, we use satellites to monitor vegetation cover and biomass, which provides us with real-time and continuous tracking of local vegetation and biodiversity conditions. In addition, we employ advanced environmental algorithms that analyze this data, enabling us to implement evidence-based conservation and restoration strategies.
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF WHERE REGENERATIVE BEEKEEPING CAN BE IMPLEMENTED:
DEGRADED BIOMES
In areas affected by intensive agricultural practices or other forms of environmental degradation, regenerative beekeeping can play a crucial role in restoring vegetation and revitalizing soils.
AGRICULTURE AND AGROFORESTRY
Integration of beekeeping into organic and agroforestry systems to improve pollination, increase productivity and biodiversity, and promote soil and plant regeneration.
REFORESTATION AND CONSERVATION AREAS
Use of regenerative beekeeping to support reforestation and conservation projects through the reintroduction of native botanical species, where bees help regenerate degraded ecosystems by promoting pollination and increasing the seed bank and vegetation cover.
SMALL RURAL PROPERTIES
Small farmers can adopt regenerative beekeeping practices to diversify their sources of income, improve soil fertility, and contribute to overall environmental health.
SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISES
Companies and projects aiming to be environmentally sustainable can integrate regenerative beekeeping into their environmental responsibility practices, helping create healthier and more productive landscapes.
