Mission supporting the health of bees on Earth

Discover the extraordinary world of bees and their essential role in sustaining biodiversity, healthy ecosystems, and human life.

Bees and other pollinators are fundamental to the natural world. Yet these remarkable creatures face growing pressures from habitat loss, pesticides, climate change, and other environmental stressors. Protecting bees begins with understanding them. Alongside conserving natural habitats, scientific research plays a vital role in revealing how environmental changes affect bee health and populations.

At the Institute of Bee Health, University of Bern, Switzerland, research explores the biology, physiology, and behavior of bees, as well as their responses to environmental stressors. This knowledge provides the scientific foundation for developing effective, practical, and sustainable conservation strategies.

Inspired by this mission, Gavrieli has committed 7% of the profits from each artwork sold to supporting research on managed and wild bees. These contributions will help early-career scientists, particularly Master's and PhD students, investigate pressing scientific questions, generate new knowledge, and share their findings through peer-reviewed publications and national and international scientific conferences. In doing so, each contribution advances our understanding of these essential animals and how best to protect them.

Gavrieli's vision brings together art, nature, and scientific discovery. Created using encaustic techniques with melted beeswax, each artwork embodies this connection. More than an object of beauty, it represents a shared commitment to understanding and protecting the natural world.

By welcoming a Gavrieli artwork into your life, you become part of this vision. Your contribution supports the next generation of scientists and helps build the knowledge needed to safeguard bees, biodiversity, and the ecosystems upon which future generations depend.
