Bee Oasis Costa Rica (B.O.C.R.) – Mission, Vision & Goals
At Bee Oasis Costa Rica (B.O.C.R.), in collaboration with Torunes Farm and Soulgives, we are dedicated to protecting and nurturing the delicate balance of nature by creating a sanctuary for bees. Our mission is rooted in the understanding that bees are essential to the health of our ecosystems, agriculture, and overall biodiversity. We envision a world where bees are not only protected but also celebrated for their invaluable contributions. Through education, conservation, and sustainable agricultural practices, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for bees and their role in maintaining a healthy, balanced planet. By fostering a thriving ecosystem where bees and biodiversity flourish, Bee Oasis Costa Rica is committed to making a lasting impact—one hive, one flower, and one community at a time.
Our Goals
Provide a Protected Environment for Bees – Ensure a safe, pesticide-free, and sustainable habitat where bees can thrive and continue their essential role as pollinators, benefiting both agriculture and biodiversity.
Enrich the Land with Bee-Friendly Flora – Cultivate a diverse range of flowers, bushes, and trees tailored to meet the nutritional needs of our bees, enhancing their health while producing some of the world’s purest honey.
Advocate for the Vital Role of All Bees – Promote the conservation of native stingless bees, particularly Melipona beecheii (Xunan Kab, the “regal lady bee”) and Mariola (Tetragonisca angustula, the “angel bee”), known for their ecological and medicinal significance.
Advance Conservation and Education – Develop educational initiatives and outreach programs to raise awareness about the importance of bees, empowering communities to take action in preserving pollinator populations.
Encourage Sustainable Agricultural Practices – Integrate eco-friendly farming methods that support biodiversity, enhance pollination, and create a sustainable balance between agriculture and conservation.
Strengthen Community Involvement – Engage local communities in bee conservation efforts, fostering a culture of responsibility and participation in protecting these essential pollinators.
Expand Research and Innovation – Support scientific research on bees, their behavior, and the medicinal properties of their honey, contributing valuable insights into environmental sustainability and ecological health.
Bee Oasis Costa Rica is more than a sanctuary—it is a movement towards a healthier planet, ensuring that every hive, every flower, and every community plays a role in sustaining our shared environment for generations to come.
