Haroon Rasheed and Chris Rasheed, owners and founders of ‘Bee Happy Raw Honey’ in California, United States (US), have made conserving bees and marketing raw honey their life’s work. They distribute all of their honey to friends, neighbors, and first responders every year.
Haroon and Pakistan-based billionaire Omer Ali Malik planned to create the ‘Serena Bee Museum’ in Pakistan in 2022, with Malik giving a significant piece of land at Neelishang, a popular mountain resort in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
Malik, who shares Haroon’s concerns about the environment, wants to establish a ‘bee museum’ to educate current and future generations about the environmental benefits of planting fruit trees and bee-friendly flora.
The museum will be a bee sanctuary and a location to teach people about bees and the value of their existence. It will also be a place to train new beekeepers and introduce a new generation to the importance and delights of beekeeping.
Haroon intends to bring the bee museum and sanctuary to the Californian county of Solano/Sonoma subsequently. This would be a site where people could learn about bees, the importance of their existence, and where future beekeepers could be trained.
