What better day for an update on our bees than World Bee Day. Spring is the busiest time of year for bees as they look to restock food and re-establish their colonies. In the first image you can see our bees are already hard at work making honey.

It’s an exciting time for the bees at Arena HQ because two of our hives are attempting to rear new queens. The oddly shaped cell in image two shows the beginning of a queen cell, and a key sign that the hive is preparing to swarm. Our beekeepers are preventing swarming by creating ‘splits’, essentially artificially simulating one, instead. At the moment, we currently have two fairly straight forward splits, both busy and happy rearing their new queens. We’ll keep you posted on their progress.

These bees aren’t just at our head office to provide delicious honey (and excitement) though. They’re an integral part of our commitment to create more biodiverse surroundings, and with their help, boost the pollinator power in our local area.

Fresher, Fairer Flowers

Over the last 14 years, we’ve delivered more than 10 million beautiful flower bouquets throughout the length and breadth of the UK. 10 million bouquets is a lot, but we don’t like to think of it like that.

Every order we receive is arranged and hand-tied by one of our florists to create a unique bouquet. Just as each customer is different, so is each bouquet. We treat each one individually.

We strive to make our international and domestic supply chain kinder to people and the environment in everything we do. From working directly with Fair Trade farms, minimising the environmental impact of our packaging and even how our facilities are powered, we do this so we can deliver the freshest, fairest bouquet of flowers you’ve ever given. We’re ranked as the UK’s most ethical florist, with a perfect 100 score in 2019 on the Ethical Company Index. And, for every bouquet you buy, we plant one tree in countries like Haiti, Mozambique and Madagascar, to restore and grow healthy forests and help alleviate extreme poverty.

But the benefit of this work isn’t just a warm, fuzzy feeling: it means we’re able to deliver a better, fresher and longer lasting product. With an obsessive attention to detail, every single stem is seasonally sourced, prepared and stored to ensure maximum freshness, then personally arranged by a real florist. Rest assured, all of our bouquets are made to last.
