We’ll help you assess whether your yard, garden, or rooftop is suitable. If not, you can sponsor a hive in your name at one of our partner apiaries or educational sites.
Together we will decide on the optimal location to situate your hive to suit your needs and those of your bees.
We Install Your Bees
Our standard package includes all required hive equipment including a handcrafted pine beehive.
We deliver everything to your place and set it all up. We supply and install the honeybee colony and provide the bees with any support they may require to thrive until our next visit.
You don’t have to lift a finger—unless you want to help!
Seasonal Stewardship
We visit regularly throughout the season to monitor, feed, treat, and tend to your hive with up-to-date, bee-safe strategies.
How often we visit the bees depends on hive condition, time of year, and other factors. You will be notified ahead of time, the day in which to expect your beekeeper.
We will send you a report after our visit about how your bees are doing.
Harvest Your Sweet Rewards
whether your interest is data, honey, or environmental impact you can reap the sweet rewards.
However as early as the second year the hives will usually produce a surplus of honey that will need to be removed.
Honey harvesting can be done in a few different ways. You have the option of processing your own frames, in which case the beekeeper will harvest the frames from the hive and leave them in a safe (bee free) place for you to extract. If you would rather have us process the honey for you, there is a modest processing fee or a 50/50 split.
You can also have us jar and/or label it too.
