Beeing Project
• ItalyBartender Vincenzo Pagliara of Italy is on a mission to save the bees! His Ketel One ‘Beeing Project’ cocktail and partnership with the community aims to promote the protection of the bee’s biodiversity and the expansion of beehives.
- "What do we do wrong every day that effects the world around us? How reverse those effects? Beeing Project It’s a bilateral project that allows a bar to contribute to its community of supporting small local producers & businesses, to be an example of synergy with different realities operating in the social sector. Want to represent the beginning of a social activation that every bar or restaurant and even guests that works and live with ethics and care can replicate. Bars are places of aggregation, they are energies that actively interact also with the external environment. The bar undertakes to
- use the percentage from the sales of the thematic menu to buy a Beeing hive to a local association that operates in the social sector for educational purposes or to become an hub where training courses are held for young people to recover in society, the idea is to give a new light to the role of bars within small communities, motivating bartenders to ""give"", this could solve the phenomenon of the last two years of shortage of workers in hospitality. By promoting the expansion of the B-Box and educational hives, the Food & Beverage can contribute to creating more
- sustainable cities, helping the repopulation of bees and the protection of terrestrial biodiversity in the community which they live in."
