Honeybees are small but mighty workers whose actions ultimately help nourish all life on earth. They pollinate 80% of the crops we use for food across the world; that’s one third of the food that people like you and me consume on a daily basis! In the vast majority of cases, crops will not develop the fruits and vegetables we know and love unless they are first pollinated.
So, you get the picture: no bees means no food. Or, at the very least, no bees mean a much scarcer global food supply.
Though humanity’s constant innovation and progress forward is something to celebrate, it does present some significant challenges for our helpful little pollinators. As land is cleared to make room for homes and businesses, the amount of land on which honeybees can build their hives shrinks. In addition, many farmers use pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers that – though they protect the crops themselves – can harm the honeybees that come into contact with them. This puts honeybees in a critical situation; with limited access to safe food sources and places to call home, honeybees face extinction. That spells bad news for the rest of us.
Hope is not lost, however! This is the part where we come in.

Honeybees need safe places to call home where they have access to sufficient pollen and nectar and are far away from the chemicals that wreak havoc on their sensitive systems. Jungle House partners with local bee farmers and hunters to create spaces where honeybees can thrive and continue to support the health of the jungle ecosystem.
We love this planet, and we bet you do, too. With your support, we will work tirelessly to support the sustainability of life on this wonderful planet we all call home.
We often think back to the story of Noah’s Ark – in this story, God tasks Noah with the responsibility of protecting humanity from total extinction. In much the same way, we view protecting honeybee populations as a means of building an ark for humanity, so to speak. It is through this work that we seek to bring glory to the God that has blessed us with such a beautiful world to experience.
