Hive Adoption - The Hive Friend

A deeper connection to the season, the work, and the life inside a single hive.

The Hive Friend tier offers a closer, more personal connection to one specific hive and the rhythms of the bees who live there.

This sponsorship supports the seasonal care of a colony while offering story-driven updates and insight into hive health, pollination, and forage.

When honey is available, Hive Friends are among the first to be included but availability always depends on the bees.

 $125/year 

What’s Included

• Digital adoption certificate (your certificate will include a photo of the hive you are adopting)
• Seasonal updates and photos
• Educational insights into hive health and pollination
• A small honey share when harvest allows

A Note on Honey

Honey is seasonal and never guaranteed. Weather, forage, and colony strength all affect harvests. Bee health always comes first.

Best For

• Those seeking a closer connection
• Gardeners & nature lovers
• Thoughtful gift-givers

A simple, meaningful way to support pollinators and ethical beekeeping. 

The Backyard Supporter tier is a symbolic, annual hive adoption designed for those who want to stand behind the bees in a quiet, thoughtful way.

Your sponsorship helps support the seasonal care of a healthy colony and the work that happens behind the scenes: monitoring hive health, supporting forage, and placing bee wellbeing first.

This tier is about stewardship, not ownership. It is not tied to honey harvests and does not include a honey share.
