                    We are always looking for great locations and partners to host one of our honey bee yards.  We are only able to keep 30-40 hives every 3 square kilometers (as they will compete for resources if there are more) and enjoy working with farmers and rural property owners.  We provide pollination services for use of a small piece of land!

                    Here is what you need to know when it comes to ideal yard locations...

                    • We need the ability to get a pick up truck right into the bee yard 
                    • Yard needs to be in a dry location - excessive humidity is not great for the bees or equipment
                    • The bee hives will roughly cover a 30’x30’ piece of land
                    • Ideally situated away from the primary residence 
                    • South facing - with either full or partial sun
                    • Natural windbreaks nearby or in an area that is not directly in a wind tunnel
                    • Isolated from horses and cattle 

                    What you need to know from the beekeeper.

                    • The bee yard will be registered with OMAFRA
                    • Bee inspectors have the authority to be on premises to inspect the bee yard during normal working hours - they will be provided instructions on how to access the hives and will only be allowed to use that route (it can be requested that they call both the beekeeper and landowner prior to inspection)
                    • You will be contacted via call/text/email (what you prefer), and we will look for approval for any work/visits done outside of 7am-7pm - so the headlights coming down the laneway aren't a scare
                    • Bees need to be moved at night (that way all the bees are home and moved at the same time)
                    • The beekeeper will only be on the property for bee related work and may have 1-2 individuals to help
                    • Smoke is used to work with the bees - when the land dries up and becomes a fire risk - no smoker will be dumped and put out in the bee yard itself - will be done back at headquarters
                    • No extra equipment will be stored at yard
                    • Beekeeper will maintain the grass in the yard

                    If hosting a bee yard is of interest, please reach out and contact us here.

                    We have a country property in Mulmur with several acres and are interested in hosting professionally managed honeybee hives. We are not looking to become beekeepers ourselves at this stage, but would be interested in a hive-hosting arrangement where the hives are maintained by an experienced beekeeper. Please let me know if this is something you offer and whether our property may be suitable.

                    Hi, I was wondering if you could guide me about how some of the beekeepers get around the setback bylaws for urban beekeeping? I’m in Mississauga and have 1 hive but one of my neighbors is saying just me having it is not acceptable to them even though I put it as far away from their house as possible. We thought we’re were doing really well until today when they finally called bylaw. The fact that the bees have not bothered anyone but are still unacceptable to them is SO frustrating. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

                    We were an outdoor nature base school with 100 acres. We would absolutely love to have a big colony on our property where the children will learn the day-to-day of beekeeping making their own honey and what it takes and the Bee community.

                    Hi Dave. We have the perfect space to host hives with direct access from the road. The area is shaded / sunny and the property is on the Grand River. You have visited this property before.
                    Let us know if you are interested.

                    Hello, my name is Jill and I think we have a property that would be ideal to host hives! We have 175 acres on an equestrian farm, with several acres of soya been crop. We have lots of space that’s is currently not being utilized, and I wonder if hosting bees might be a good use of this space? Look forward to hearing from you!
