NearBees also offers corporate clients the opportunity to sustainably support more bees locally through bee sponsorships.<\/p>\n<p>With the support of BonVenture, these business areas are to be further expanded.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are very pleased to have found a partner in BonVenture who will work with us to further advance the issues of regionality and the preservation of beekeeping,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>says Michael Gelhaus, founder and managing director of nearBees.<\/p>\n<h3>BonVenture is personally committed to preserving bees<\/h3>\n<p>In BonVenture, nearBees has not only found a local partner, but also a like-minded person. After all, Dr. Erwin Stahl, the fund&#039;s managing director, is himself a passionate beekeeper. Therefore, the preservation of bees is close to Dr. Stahl&#039;s heart:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe enormous drop in honey prices is one of the reasons why beekeepers are keeping fewer and fewer bees \u2014 with devastating consequences for agriculture and biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>nearBees addresses this issue and, with fair prices and convenient marketing opportunities, creates incentives to keep more bees in the long term.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Social Venture Capital Fund was founded in 2003 to promote the development and dissemination of innovative approaches in the social and ecological fields.
