INTERESTED IN BECOMING A HOST SITE FOR OUR BEEHIVES?

READ ON!

HIVE HOSTING is an innovative partnership opportunity between us and small farms, CSA's, and urban gardens. 

​

Here's how it works:

​

As the hive host site, you receive the pollination services of our bees, free of charge, and a kilo of honey. In return, we require the ability to come and go from your property at our convenience for hive checks.

​

Additionally, we require the commitment of the host-site to participate in one of our "Open-Hive" afternoon seminars - where our hive sponsors can come and spend a few hours learning about the bees, your farm or agricultural endeavour, and sustainable eco-systems. 

​

The goal is to create a partnership where the public gets to learn about the relationship between nature, our food, and pollinators. You may even gain exposure to new customers!

DO YOU QUALIFY TO BE A HOST SITE?

In order to ensure that we meet Ontario's legislation regarding beehives, and in keeping with our sustainable and eco-friendly beekeeping model, we have a short checklist of qualifications for our host sites. 

​

Be advised that, if you qualify, we would like to place more than one beehive on your property, and would require a 3+ year commitment to insure the health and safety of our bees.
