Commercial Hive Hosting & Pollination Services

Beeholden Farms offers Commercial Hive Hosting & Pollination Services for businesses seeking to support sustainability initiatives, enhance on-site landscaping or agricultural production, and demonstrate a meaningful commitment to environmental stewardship.

Our professionally managed hives provide natural pollination for surrounding plants, trees, and crops while being thoughtfully placed and maintained to meet the needs of commercial properties.

This service is ideal for:

• Wineries and vineyards
• Farms and orchards
• Event venues and hospitality properties
• Commercial campuses and office parks
• Educational or conservation-focused organizations

 What’s Included

• Professional hive placement tailored to your property
• Ongoing hive inspections and seasonal management
• Ethical, bee-first beekeeping practices
• Natural pollination support for surrounding landscapes
• Site monitoring and maintenance throughout the season
• Honey harvesting when conditions allow 

Beeholden Farms retains the harvested honey unless otherwise arranged.

Business Hosting Fee

Commercial hive hosting is offered as a paid service.

For one managed hive, the standard fee is:

$900–$1,200 per hive, per year (multiple hives receive a multi-hive discount)

Most businesses fall comfortably at $1,000 per hive annually.

Final pricing may vary based on:

• Property size and layout
• Public access and foot traffic
• Frequency of inspections required
• Special requests (education, signage, tours, branding) 

Why Commercial Hosting Is a Paid Service

Commercial properties require additional considerations, including:

• Increased liability exposure
• Higher inspection and maintenance needs
• Careful placement in public-facing environments

This fee reflects professional apiary management, responsible stewardship, and consistent on-site service. 

About Honey Harvests

Honey production is seasonal and dependent on weather, forage availability, and hive health. Honey is harvested only when conditions support the wellbeing of the bees, and harvest amounts vary year to year. 

What We Ask of Business Hosts

To ensure a safe and successful partnership, business hosts provide:

• A suitable, secure location for hive placement
• Scheduled access for inspections and maintenance
• A commitment to minimizing pesticide and chemical use near hive areas
• Clear communication regarding site changes or events
