Managed hive hosting

Bring a working beehive to your organization

The Honey Bee Society works with businesses, schools, and community spaces interested in hosting a managed hive and creating practical pollinator-learning opportunities.

We maintain the bees. Every potential location begins with a conversation and site review so expectations, access, and hive placement can be discussed.

A clear three-step process

How hive hosting begins

Tell us about the site

Share the property type, location, audience, and what you hope the hive will add to your organization.

Review the location together

We schedule a conversation and, when appropriate, review the proposed site and access needs.

Plan the hive experience

If the location is a fit, we discuss hive management and the educational experiences available.

What hosting can add

Pollinator learning

Give employees, students, customers, or community members a practical way to learn about honey bees and habitat.

Shared experiences

Create opportunities for guided hive exploration and conversations about responsible beekeeping.

Visible stewardship

Connect a working hive with broader conversations about biodiversity and pollinator-friendly spaces.
