Bee the Change facilitates thriving bee colonies through beehive sponsorship by both individuals and corporate sponsors. We can then place branded hives in high profile strategic locations enabling environmental education and pollination initiatives for local communities.
All this then enables us to strive towards our mission to help contribute to addressing global issues facing the honeybee.

Our Mission
It is globally recognised that an insect and bee mass extinction could well occur in our lifetime. This would have a catastrophic impact on global food supply.
Through facilitating Corporate Social Responsibility, Bee the Change provides environmental education and pollination initiatives to encourage healthy bee populations.
Bee the Change is leveraging New Zealand’s unique geographic advantage and stringent bio-security laws. Once strong and healthy colonies are established, ‘nucleus hives’ can be shipped to crisis areas around the world to help repopulate colonies.
Together we can create a safe haven for the bee population.

Meet Neal
Neal McAloon came to Queenstown with a passion for the outdoors which drove his career as an instructor and guide. He loves the community and wants to help create an environmental footprint that helps to off-set the effects tourism and development is having on the district.
While rehabilitating from a ski accident, Neal studied for and achieved a professional apiculture qualification. This helped strengthen his belief that the natural environment he loves needs protecting. Neal identifies strongly with the Māori principle of kaitiakitanga, meaning guardianship.
These environmental principles have been the inspiration and driving force behind Bee the Change.
