Honey bees colonies at the Lenze firm’s premises

As part of its environmental programme, Lenze established three colonies of honey bees on its company premises, making an important contribution to the conservation of the local flora and fauna.

Lenze is giving three amateur beekeepers, who are all employees in the company, the location for the colonies of honey bees free of charge. An industrial environment, such as the areas of Lenze firms, is indeed an ideal location having many green areas with early nectar plants that bloom wonderfully every year. Around 50,000 bees inhabit a bee colony, which means that there are now 150,000 bees living on the Lenze premises in Gross Berkel. Their pollenating activities not only support other insects, but also the local agriculture.

The project represents a new step for Lenze’s conservation policy, extending it for the first time to wildlife conservation, by also cooperating with external claimants such as farmers. The project is also receiving backing on a national and international level through national sustainability strategies and the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals der UN, which aim to give greater protection to life on the land. The Lenze bee project is contributing to these strategies by putting a very important plan into action.

The bees on the Lenze premises in Gross Berkel are the beginning of a path that Lenze aims to broaden and extend on an international level at a later stage, already having a ‘twin’ at the Lenze logistics centre in Asten, Austria, where bees are also becoming active this year.
