Limited Colonies. No live bees shipped.
Adopting a hive as a Colony Caretaker is more than a feel-good gesture. It has real impact on bees, food, and your local community.
Your hive helps maintain healthy bee populations that pollinate fruits, vegetables, and wild plants within a several-kilometre radius.
Instead of just talking about sustainability, you’re directly funding hive care, habitat, and responsible beekeeping practices.
The honey you receive is a tangible result of your hive’s work — a reminder that your decisions can nourish both people and planet.
Painting the hive, seeing your nameplate, and following updates turns abstract “environmental impact” into real stories your family can see.
Your name on the Digital Hive Hero Wall and invitations to beekeeper sessions plug you into a growing community of pollinator allies.
Colony Caretaker isn’t more “stuff” — it’s an experience, a story, and a shared commitment to better food and healthier ecosystems.

Answers to the most common questions about Adopt-A-Hive.
No. Your hive stays at our apiary with our beekeepers. You receive the hive box to paint plus updates, honey, and experiences.
Honey is harvested once per season. Your 10 to 15 × 500g jars are packed after extraction and made available for pickup, delivery or shipping.
Colony Caretakers receive between 10 and 15 jars of honey per season. The exact amount depends on how well the bee yard performs that year—weather, bloom cycles, and nectar flow all play a role. No matter the season, you’ll always receive a full share of the honey your adopted hive helps produce.
As a Colony Caretaker, you receive priority access for two to select onsite experiences where you can see the bees up close. You’ll also be invited to virtual sessions hosted directly from the yard where your hive is placed, so you can stay connected no matter the location.
Yes. You can dedicate the hive to someone, personalize the box and nameplate, and share the honey and updates with them.
Our beekeepers actively manage health, pests, and winter losses. Your benefits are maintained even if we need to re-establish a colony.
Colony Caretaker is a one-year adoption. We’ll remind you when it’s time to renew for the next season.
