Beehive Rental for Businesses
We’ve helped 30+ business’ boost biodiversity with bees, and we’d love you to join the movement.
What to expect
We provide the beehives, bees, and ongoing hive servicing - so your team can focus on buzzing with CSR engagement and hands-on learning.
Did you know beehives can contribute to your business’ Green Star Certification?
Green Star is New Zealand’s leading sustainability rating system for commercial buildings, where projects earn points across key categories to achieve a certified star rating - the higher the points, the greater the commercial value.
Why businesses are prioritising Green Star:
Higher asset value and stronger tenant demand
Access to green finance and investment opportunities
Lower operating costs over time
Stronger ESG positioning with stakeholders
Potential tax efficiencies linked to sustainable building performance
If you’re working toward certification, every initiative needs to contribute real, measurable impact - not just tick a box.
That’s where beehives come in.
How bees contribute to your Green Star points:
Ecology: Supports on-site and off-site biodiversity
Innovation: Contributes towards credits when integrated into your sustainability strategy
Wellbeing: Enhances occupant connection to nature
Overall score: Strengthens your total points across multiple categories
