Scheduling
We’ll set up a time to deliver and install the hive on your property, ensuring it’s in the best location for bee health and productivity.
Hive Setup & Delivery

Our team will deliver the hive and carefully place it in an ideal location, considering factors such as sun exposure, wind protection, and access to forage.
Bee Introduction
We provide a healthy, active bee colony that’s ready to start pollinating and producing honey immediately.
Maintenance & Monitoring
Once the hive is set up, we take full responsibility for its care. This includes regular inspections, pest management, and ensuring the health of the colony.
Ongoing Care
Regular Maintenance
We visit regularly to check on the hive, manage the colony’s health, and perform routine hive maintenance, including brood management, honeycomb checks, and pest control.
