Have you always dreamed about beekeeping or just having a beehive but have had reservations due to time constraints or maybe you live in the city, own a country home and believe its not possible? well beekeeping is a possibility with our hive hosting program.
Through our program we take care of every aspect, from hive delivery, set-up, care and honey extraction.
Whether you live in the country, city small town or have an organic garden and you care about the welfare of our pollinators this program is ideal for you.
How it works; Contact us by phone or email, we will schedule an appointment for a property assessment. If the assessment is favorable then we will set up a time and day (weather permitting)to deliver and set-up the hive. we will register your property with OMAFRA as required under the bee act and take care of any and all inspections. As the season progresses we will visit your property a minimum of once per week until the nectar flow, then once every other week to monitor the bees and honey production.
The cost for this program is $300.00 + GST (Mid May to Mid September) you keep 20% of the honey from the hives on your property. A 25% non refundable deposit will be required upon booking.
Some of the pre requisites for hosting a hive or hives are;
- A minimum of 5 acres of property
- you will not use any pesticides, herbicides or chemicals of any kind
- Pollinator freindly plants are recomended or undisturbed fields of natural wildflower/weeds
- We do prefer our hives to be as far away from commercial agiculture as possible however, that is not always possible and we will assess each property for this.

Keep it natural, plant as many native species of wild flower as possible, limited to the space you have. At all cost, avoid the use of pesticides and herbicides, try leaving the dandelions alone until they are finished blooming, they are one the first foods for the bees.
Birdbaths aren't only for the birds, bees love to get a drink on hot summer days.
From The Hive
From The Hive
We have many various size jars of honey available including Comb Honey. Our honey is 100% natural, raw and unpasteurized. You may ask if our honey is Organic?, this is a tough one! we do our best to place our hives in an area with little to no conventional farming. we cannot control where the bees fly nor can we control who uses chemicals on their plants or crops, therefore it is almost impossible to find true organic Honey. We are always looking for natural spaces far from commercial farms to place our hives. If you have space and would like to host a hive or two, please contact us to discuss options.
