Training & Talks
Sustainability Events
Our founder Clarence Chua is not just an award-winning honeybee expert; he's also an ecologist and naturalist since his childhood. Chua has been invited to schools and corporate events to share about the wonders and interconnectedness of nature, and also runs parties centered on animal education.
Did you know that 70% of native flora in Southeast Asian lowland forests depend on bee pollination? He does more than just rescue honeybees (which he's saved over 1 million). He uses data to advance his cause: think distribution heat maps and cloud-based beehive monitoring devices.
