    What is WRAP?

    Find out why bees add so much value to our lives.

    The Walkers Reserve Apiary Programme, better known as WRAP, is a beekeeping cooperative that supports regenerative beekeeping practices.  We prioritize the health of bee populations over their commercialization to build robust environmental and community benefits in light of a changing climate.  This includes supporting local endemic species in addition to honeybees to build resilience in our local pollinators and food systems.  

    One may believe that regenerative beekeeping is a new concept, however, this form of beekeeping has been used by our ancestors who kept bees thousands of years ago.  The regenerative approach to beekeeping involves forgoing the use of antibiotics, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), herbicides and pesticides.  We abstain from using commercial treatments such as miticides and medications.

    Bees are important pollinators, known to pollinate an estimated 80% of plants worldwide. This free pollination service provided by these tiny insects increases plant genetic diversity and yield. Without these pollinators, nearly three-quarters of the world’s crops would cease to grow which would lead to a significant increase in world hunger.

    We at WRAP therefore aim to protect and increase honeybee and other pollinator populations.
