Manage episode 343747483 series 2925684
In a traditionally male dominated industry, Emma Buckley is championing young, female beekeeping and is using her entrepreneurial spirit to transform the family business, Buckley’s Bees, founded by her father David Buckley, together they have over 65 years of beekeeping experience. Emma’s drive to raise awareness and create new opportunities is taking the skill of beekeeping to new places and to younger generations, raising awareness on the importance of all pollinators and the environment. Emma has quickly become one of Britain’s most exciting beekeeper’s, creating her Beecause Campaign that looks to enhance the viability and success of natural pollinators and imparting their expert beekeeping knowledge to educate and encourage future generations of the importance of pollinators. To date Buckley’s Bees are supporting organisations including Bentley Motors, Yeo Valley and Taylor Wimpey to name a few.
