Initiatives

Purpose

Brother Bee commits to reducing environmental impacts through integrated recycling programs alongside our core beekeeping operations. This policy formalises our waste collection, processing, and community engagement practices to ensure transparency and measurable impact.

Recycling Procedure

After bee removals, teams will offer to collect :

Glass bottles, Aluminium cans, and Plastic containers (if locally recyclable) should be delivered to designated recycling bins placed at apiaries and partner farms.

Materials used are sorted at our central depot in Ga-Rankuwa, while contaminated items (broken glass & food waste) are collected, processed, and disposed of safely.

We have partners who will be helping us with this initiative by either donating or selling waste to :

Collect-a-Can, Glass Recycling Company SA, Local buyers, Schools, and/or any community groups running recycling drives.

Our priority to Upcycle :

Glass jars will be reused for honey packaging (sterilised and labelled), and Wine bottles will be used as candle holders for beeswax products.
