How it works

1.

 Free Consultation

We visit your site and together, we choose the best location for your honeybee hive.

Ask us all your questions!

2.

Installation

We bring your honeybee hive!

All equipment and bees are included with your initial startup fee.

Management

We visit as needed (about once a month) to care for the bees, and keep you informed along the way about all the fascinating things going on in your hive. Our service options allow you to decide how hands-on or hands-off you want to be with your honeybees.

Honey from your backyard

It doesn't get more local than this! We harvest each client's honey individually, so you know you're getting honey from your own backyard. All the honey that the bees are able to spare, is yours.

Environmentalism

Help our environment

Pollinators are an essential part of our ecosystem. Unfortunately, they need all the help they can get. Support for honeybees is support for all pollinators because it encourages less pesticide use and more planting.

An aesthetic addition 

Our wax dipped wooden hive boxes are beautiful. They blend in naturally with any outdoor space. It's also fun to have the honeybee energy close by, and to watch them busy at their hive entrance.

Why get honeybees?

Neighborhood pollination

Your own garden as well as plants within a 3 mile radius will benefit from the presence of honeybees. Your neighbors with gardens will thank you!

Nature

Connect to nature

Our detailed monthly progress reports allow you to stay connected with the happenings in the hive. Just like watching the trees change as season go by, you'll see how the bees evolve with the rhythms of the year. It's amazing how much there is to learn!

Support local beekeepers

Getting a hive increases demand for honeybees, which encourages beekeepers to make more colonies. Our bees are supplied by local beekeepers that work hard to keep their honeybees thriving.

About Us 

Honeybee Pollinator

Hi! I'm Jessy. I've been beekeeping since 2013 and have managed hundreds of hives all along the east coast. I have experience servicing colonies individually, as well as on a larger scale at an apiary. My goal is to provide education about the amazing honeybees. I'm excited to bring my passion and expertise to Wilmington, NC and to share with others the rewarding experience of beekeeping.

Testimonials

Coin%20Exchange%20copy_edited.png

I find myself very fortunate to have found you. Having bees has been a wonderful journey for me and my four year old twins to learn about. Our only wish is every person knew how important the bees were. We have nothing but good things to say about your services and you provide such a calmness in your explanations to us newbies. We would recommend your services to the masses!

FAQ

Below we’ve provided answers to some common questions about our beekeeping services.

How much space do I need?

The equipment itself only takes up a few square feet of space, but we want to be sure the hive isn't installed in a high traffic area of your yard. The bees have a defined flight path when they leave the entrance that we don't want to interfere with. That being said - we've seen bees do well in as small a space as a single apartment balcony. We'll work together to find the best spot!

How much honey will I get?

Good question, but if you're only in it for the honey - support a local beekeeper by buying from them! We can't guarantee a certain amount of honey because it all depends on the bees, the weather, the forage available, etc. In general we like to make at least one harvest for you per year. And don't worry, we always leave more than enough for the bees and only take their surplus!

What happens if my bees die? 

Obviously we do everything we can to make sure they thrive, but unfortunately this can happen. As long as you are under contract with us, your beehive will be replaced at no additional cost to you, as soon as bees become available. Check out our services page for more info!

I don't have a garden. Can I still have bees?

Yes! Honeybees can fly up to 3-5 miles to get the food they need. So, while flowers close by will benefit and be beneficial, it's not necessary. 

What happens in the winter?

Some people are surprised to learn that the honeybee hive can stay in the same location all year long. We continue to care for the bees for as long as you want!
