The owners of Bee Happy Raw Honey, Chris and Haroon Rasheed, are passionate about promoting raw honey and beekeeping.
Every year, they give all of their honey away to their friends, neighbors, and emergency personnel. The Serena Bee Museum was founded in 2022 in Neelishang, a mountain resort in the KPK region of Pakistan, in collaboration with Pakistani businessman Umer Ali Malik.
Umer Ali Malik, who is building a resort-style estate development project, donated a plot of land for the museum. The Bee Museum aims to inform Pakistanis about the advantages of growing bee-friendly plants and fruit trees.
The museum’s initial prototype has been delivered to Lahore, and a groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for the end of 2023.
Haroon and Chris have been engaged in urban gardening for many years, assisting their neighbors with environmentally conscious landscaping and gardening.
They became aware of the critical function honeybees play in the ecosystem and the havoc their impending extinction would cause on the planet. Haroon was born in Lahore, which has experienced devastating floods and unheard-of temperature increases as a result of climate change.
With a population of over 13 million, Lahore is one of the five most polluted cities in the world, contributing to more than 128,000 annual deaths and a reduction in average life expectancy of more than four and a half years.
In addition, Haroon wants to build a bee sanctuary and museum in the Californian counties of Solano and Sonoma. This would offer a venue for spreading awareness of bees and the significance of their existence, as well as for training aspiring beekeepers. It aims to introduce beekeeping’s importance and benefits to the younger generation.
