For hosts who want bees on their land — without becoming beekeepers.

The easy way in. One managed honeybee hive on your property, professionally cared for on a four-week cycle. No suit-up required, ever.

What’s included:

✓ One managed honeybee hive on your property

✓ Inspections every 4 weeks (alternating internal & external)

✓ Quarterly mite count and colony health report

✓ Monthly Hive Notes newsletter

✓ Santa Clara County planting calendar

✓ 2 jars of raw honey at end of harvest

✓ Annual Pollinator Partner certificate and window decal

✓ Hive Survival Insurance included

What you handle: keep the hive area accessible and report anything unusual. That’s it.

Every four weeks, Andrew visits the property. Visits alternate between two types:

Internal inspection (visits 1, 3, 5…): the hive is opened, frames are pulled, the queen is sighted, brood is checked, mites are measured, treatments applied if needed. 30–45 minutes.

External assessment (visits 2, 4, 6…): the hive stays closed. Flight activity is checked, the hive is hefted for weight, the mite-drop board is inspected, structural condition is confirmed. 15 minutes.

Result: one full internal inspection every 8 weeks plus an external safety check on the off-week.
