The 3-year partnership with the award-winning Irish restaurant group Camile Thai will see investment in the development of crucial OpenHive infrastructure to help protect the native Irish honeybee.

Having recently introduced carbon ratings on their menus – and being the first takeaway food brand in Europe to launch 100% compostable packaging – Camile are clearly dedicated to protecting the environment. “Sourcing local produce is at the heart of our sustainability and community-focused goals,” says Camile Thai Kitchen managing director Daniel Greene. “So, we’re thrilled to launch this exciting new partnership with OpenHive.

“Through this initial three-year programme we’re both hoping to support over 100,000 endangered Irish honeybees, but also to serve up a series of new healthy menu offerings using this locally-sourced quality ingredient from our very own sponsored hives.”
