Let's Plan Your Hive Today! 

I place and care for honeybee colonies across South San Jose, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, San Martin, Gilroy, and the East Hills. You give the bees a quiet corner. I handle the beekeeping. You get raw local honey at harvest — and a yard that hums all summer long.

Why Host a Hive

Four good reasons your land says yes
🌸

Pollination

Your garden, fruit trees, and yard come alive. Better yields. Deeper bloom. Real measurable difference in one season.

🍯

Raw Honey Share

Single-origin honey from your own land, harvested at the end of the season. Yours to keep, gift, or pour over warm biscuits.

🌿

Bee-First Stewardship

I only harvest the surplus the bees produce above what they need for winter. The colony comes first. Always.

🛠️

Zero Hassle

I do every inspection, every treatment, every piece of skilled work. You don’t lift a finger unless you want to.

How It Works

Three Steps From Curious to Humming

No pressure. No tricks. Just an honest path from “I wonder if my yard would work” to a thriving colony you’ll talk about at dinner parties.

Step 1

Walk the Land Together

I come to your property, walk the space with you, and confirm it’s a good fit for a hive. 45 minutes. Free. No pressure.

Step 2

Choose Your Plan

Three subscription tiers or a one-time hive purchase. We pick the one that fits how involved you want to be.

Step 3

The Bees Arrive

Hive placement happens in spring. You sit back. I show up on schedule. Honey arrives at harvest. Your yard comes alive.

Plans & Pricing

Three ways to host. Pick yours.

All subscriptions priced per hive. Hive Survival Insurance included in every plan. One-time $225 commissioning fee at signup — waived if you prepay the year.

What Makes Anointed Honey Different

Included in every single plan
🛡️

Hive Survival Insurance

If a managed colony is lost over winter despite proper care, it’s replaced free the following spring. No questions, no fees.

📋

BeeWhere Registered

California requires every hive to be registered with the state. I handle that for you at no extra charge.

🌾

Bee-First Harvesting

I only take the surplus the bees produce above what they need for winter. The colony’s health comes before honey volume.

🪶

Indigenous Stewardship

Rooted in Navajo land-care values. Every decision asks first: what does the bee need, and what does the land need?

📍

Hyper-Local

Anointed Honey only serves South Santa Clara County. You’re never more than 30 minutes from your beekeeper.

🤝

Cancel Any Time

30 days notice and we part as friends. No long contracts. No cancellation fees. The colony is removed cleanly.

Meet Your Beekeeper

I’m Andrew. I keep bees, and I’d love to keep them on your land.


I’m Andrew Gardner — beekeeper, Navajo, and founder of Anointed Honey. I’ve been caring for hives across Santa Clara County for more than three and a half years.


I started this hosting program because I kept meeting people who wanted bees on their land but didn’t want to become beekeepers themselves. That’s a real opening. I’d rather see hives thriving on a hundred willing properties than locked away on a single one.


My approach is Bee-First: harvest only what the colony doesn’t need. The bees come first. The land comes first. Everything else follows from that.
