Arkas Line is joining efforts to prevent the extinction of bees, which are essential for maintaining ecosystems by ensuring plant reproduction. The company is supporting these efforts as a sponsor of the “Foster Beekeeping” project.
Known for its innovative practices in sustainability and its leadership in reducing the carbon footprint within its sector, Arkas Line now supports a project that addresses the critical role of bees in safeguarding the ecosystem’s future.
Through the “Foster Beekeeping” project, Arkas Line has become a sponsor for multiple beehives, marking a new step in giving back to nature. By adopting bee colonies in Mugla, Arkas Line is not only raising awareness about bee conservation but is also contributing to increased pollination. The project aims to enhance bee populations, reduce environmental damage, and promote beekeeping practices based on scientific and sustainable methods. Furthermore, it aims to foster rural development by training women and young people in beekeeping, along with hosting awareness campaigns and activities about the importance of bees.
The project, developed by the Hive Republic Foster Beekeeper community, ensures that sponsors receive regular updates on the health, coordination, and status of the bees in the region. The community embraces eco-friendly energy models and uses chemical-free beekeeping practices. Additionally, research and development are conducted at Mugla Teknopark under the supervision of academics from Mugla Sitki Kocman University.
While wind is often seen as a natural pollinator, it cannot achieve consistent pollination due to the differences in flower structures across species. Bees, on the other hand, play a vital role by gathering pollen and nectar for nourishment and transferring pollen from plant to plant to facilitate pollination. This pollination process, aided by the fine hairs on their bodies, ensures the reproduction of approximately 130,000 plant species. Bees also contribute significantly to agricultural productivity and plant population sustainability.
