Foxy has signed a multi-year agreement with 3Bee for the protection of bees and other pollinators, symbols of biodiversity, through hive monitoring and the creation of nectariferous oases.
Bees are indispensable. Thanks to their tireless pollination work, bees and other pollinators are responsible for 1/3 of the world’s food production and over 70% of the living plant species on the planet.
But in recent years bees are in danger and are at risk of extinction, which would cause inestimable damage to biodiversity. Climate change, the use of pesticides in industrial agriculture, the loss of natural habitats but also the presence of pests, diseases and bacteria are undermining their survival, and it is important to intervene as soon as possible.
Foxy has chosen to protect bees and biodiversity by launching a multi-year project at a European level with scientific partner 3Bee.
3Bee is an Italian naturetech company that develops technologies for monitoring, safeguarding, and regenerating biodiversity.
Starting with the bee, a key bioindicator, 3Bee collects and interprets environmental data through innovative proprietary systems to monitor the health of pollinators and their connection with ecosystems, offering solutions for assessment, monitoring, regeneration, and training for biodiversity.

Thanks to this project with 3Bee, 73 technological hives have been installed across Italy, Spain, Poland, France, the UK, Ireland, and Germany, allowing precise observation of bee health and simultaneously monitoring the surrounding environment. Annually, at the European level, Foxy contributes to the monitoring and protection of 21 million bees.
Additionally, in Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and Poland, 24 biodiversity oases have been created: 2,350 native nectariferous plants have been planted, which, once they reach their growth regime, will help recreate hospitable habitats for pollinating insects and provide them with food and shelter.
Foxy dedicates an entire line to this project: Foxy Love the Bee, toilet paper and kitchen towels, the paper that loves and protects bees!
