The origin of “GoldenBee”
Bees gather and make honey from flowers for survival. In the meantime, they spread pollen for plants to grow. As a result, they could have wider sources to gather honey. It is a sustainable lifestyle and that is why bees can exist 137 million years. There are enterprises, just like bees, who dedicate to creating harmony and symbiosis with the environment and the society. They are called “GoldenBee Enterprises”.
