A Bit about Bees… and the Educos 4P’s

A bit about bees...and the Educos 4P's

Educos has chosen the Bee as our corporate symbol. While adding an element of fun, the bee has admirable characteristics from which we draw valuable lessons.

They are social insects and are successful because the behavior of each bee is In concert with the others for the benefit of the group. This teaches us to be a team with utmost respect for one another and  each other's individual talents.

The bee is more honoured than any other animal , not because it labours,  but because it labours for others. This underpins our drive to respect Mother Earth and all her creatures which is why we initiated, and why we are so passionate about, our '4P' initiative: People, Planet, Pets, and Poaching.

The Educos team are a group of passionate and motivated bees. We are very involved in giving back as making a difference in our world is extremely important to us.
