Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit Launches Guardians of Wildlife Bee Program, including Educational Workshops & Sustainable Commerce

 

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (September 2, 2021) - The AAA Five Diamond Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit has launched a new program to protect the very important bees found on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. 

 

In addition to newly built suites for passing bees, the Guardians of Wildlife program features workshops for families to learn about bees, their importance, and tips to help conservation. 

 

Named "The World's Most Important Animals" by the Royal Geographical Society and Earthwatch Institute, bees play a vital role in the pollination cycle involved in the production of over 75% of the food we consume globally. Pollination supports crop production, wild plant diversity, ecosystem balance, healthy soils, and clean air. On top of that, in Mexico alone, beekeeping generates around 100,000 direct jobs.

 

At Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, besides being chosen by valuable guests every year, it is the place selected by bees to rest and feed during their pollination journey. New wooden structures act as temporary suites providing a comfortable space for them to find a respite and build their hives. In partnership with AZPER Guardián de la Vida (AZPER Guardian of life), the apiaries are conditioned with honey and pheromones to attract these insects. The artificial hives can be easily moved and relocated if needed.

 

Flowers on the property offer ample food for the bees. And their honey is used throughout the resort's restaurants as well the renowned SE Spa while supporting sustainable commerce locally.

Offered on request, onsite workshops for families teach the importance of bees and how to personally contribute to their conservation. Here are a few tips to continue conservation at home:

  • Do not be afraid if they are around (Bees only sting when danger is present).
  • Take care of the bees' home (report hives and have them removed safely).
  • Invite bees to lunch (allow bees to feed on fruit trees).
  • Help bees regain energy (if a bee is spotted struggling, place a small amount of sugar water nearby to help the bee regain energy).
  • Plant Flowers (in a garden plant flowers so that bees and other pollinating species can find shelter and pollen to feed on).
  • Eat local honey (honey not only has great health benefits but supporting local beekeepers helps beehives thrive).
  • Support an association dedicated to the cause (there are many organizations that do a great job taking care of bees).
