Pollen Testing

Did you know you can discover exactly what flowers your bees are foraging from, and the pollen composition of your honey?

Pollen testing provides detailed insights into your honey’s floral profile, including Manuka ratings!

Bees Up Top is proud to be the first urban beekeeping company in New Zealand to offer pollen testing from rooftop hives.

Our bees travel across the surrounding landscape collecting pollen from hundreds of plants. By testing this pollen, we can identify the diversity of plants and flowering species within your local environment, giving you a unique insight into the biodiversity surrounding your building.

Our pollen testing can help you:

• Measure the diversity of flowering plants around your site
• Identify important food sources for local pollinators
• Track changes in biodiversity over time
• Demonstrate the environmental value of your hive
• Generate meaningful data for sustainability and biodiversity reporting

Your rooftop bees are
more than honey producers.

They are biodiversity monitors.

With Bees Up Top, you can turn your hive into a living source of environmental data and see exactly what your bees are finding across the city.
