Hive Hosting Program
Do you love honey bees but aren’t ready to become a beekeeper yourself? Our Hive Hosting Program offers a simple, hands-off way to support pollinators and enjoy the sweet rewards.
​
How It Works:
-
We place and maintain honey bee hives on your property.
You provide a safe, sunny spot with good forage—we handle the rest. -
All equipment, bees, and care are provided by us.
We manage everything: seasonal inspections, pest control, feeding, and honey harvesting. -
You get a share of the honey each season.
As a thank-you, hosts receive a portion of the honey harvested from their hosted hive(s). -
No experience or labor required.
We mow and maintain the area directly around the hives—you don’t have to lift a finger. -
Annual land use agreement. We’ll send a simple contract that outlines expectations and responsibilities to keep everything clear and protected on both sides. SAMPLE AGREEMENT HERE
