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

​

Ideal Hosts:

  • Homeowners with open space or wildflower gardens

  • Farms and homesteads

  • Small businesses or retreat centers

  • Community gardens or conservation properties
