Plan BEE Rural Beekeeping

Our Initiatives

Plan BEE Rural Beekeeping (Since 2013)

With a focus on poverty alleviation, this strategic community programme is designed to engage local low-income communities to earn a supplementary income from the honey and help protect the Asian honeybee (Apis Cerena) against the threat of extinction. Each year a new community is provided training and start-up tools. The honey harvested is also sourced by sister brands for restaurant and spa operations.

Plan BEE Honey is available for purchase at Shama Sukhumvit Bangkok. Funds raised from the sale go to help sustain future Plan BEE projects.

Shama’s 2000 Trees Challenge

Our Initiatives

Shama’s 2000 Trees Challenge (Since 2013)

In partnership with Shanghai Roots and Shoots, Shama properties in China are committed to collectively raised RMB 50,000.- to plant 2,000 trees for the Million Tree Project each year, aiming to fight Climate Change by improving both ecological environment and livelihood of the local communities in Inner Mongolia.

Trees are sourced locally from tree farms and local farmers are engaged in the tree planting and maintain the trees growing on their land. The farmers are licensed to harvest trees that have reached maturity, on the condition that they replant on the same plot. During the trees’ infancy, local farmers are encouraged to inter-plant crops in order to generate extra income that helps alleviate poverty in the community.

The first Shama China Forest was planted in April 2014 followed by the second forest in June 2016.
