What to expect

We provide the beehives, bees, and ongoing hive servicing - so your school can focus on buzzing with hands-on learning and make a sustainable impact.

  • Choose your own hive location

    We take care of the entire beehive set up. We’ll assess a safe bee flight path away from foot traffic, and provide sweeter classroom views.

  • Bee welcoming ceremony

    Gather your team to view the hive installation and welcome the bees to your school alongside one of our beekeepers.

  • Name your Queen bee

    Each hive includes option to add a custom plaque with your queen bees name on it!

  • Branded honey jars

    Your school name on your honey! Straight from your hive into custom branded jars! Perfect for stocking the staff room.

  • The perfect corporate or client gift

    Our mini honey jars are ideal for schools wanting to include a meaningful gift into event goodie bags, or as thank you gifts for team and board members.

  • Workshops

    We offer a range of bee workshops, and for those who have their own hive with us, we can incorporate hive tours and demos into those workshops for a more memorable team experience.

  • Display Hives

    Display a beehive in your school reception to start conversations and make your bees unmissable!

  • Bee Content

    We offer regular bee hive updates, bee facts and social media templates for our clients to make spreading the word easy. During hive checks, your team is more than welcome to observe and snap a shot of the action!

FAQ

  • Not a problem. Bees can fly up to 10km to forage for food, and will thrive even if you do not have a garden. You just need a safe space to keep them where foot traffic won’t interrupt their flight path.

  • Absolutely. Our beekeepers love to chat about bees and show you around the hive. We are here to answer any questions you may have and involve you in the experience.

  • We offer beehive replacement at no extra cost. Our team closely monitors beehive health to avoid swarming where possible.

  • Our team takes care of hive registration and maintenance for you.

  • Our beekeepers can check the beehives without staff needing to be present. However if your team would like to observe the hive check we communicate our schedules with you.

  • 5kg’s of raw honey straight from your beehive! We take care of the extraction and bottling process. Plus additional honey can be arranged if you are looking for personalised gifts.
