Colony; “To cultivate, inhabit, be guardian of or revere'.

The Colony is an Association committed to advancing the cultural connection to Apiculture through collaborative practice, research and expedition.

Our projects aim to ensure the preservation of Apiculture history, and the enhancement of ecology. Through plant pollination and air purification Apiculture cultivates nourishment for the plant and animal Kingdom.

We acknowledge our place within an interweaving system of kinship. Among animals, plants, stars, the land, and bodies of water, we are all part of this reality of country.
