First-year beekeeper here! I’m participating in a state-wide beginner beekeeper program that provides a hive to one new beekeeper per local club. I’ve received my equipment (bees arriving soon 🐝), but I live in an apartment and can’t host them on-site.
I’m looking for someone local who would be open to hosting a hive on their property for this season.
What’s in it for you:
• Increased pollination for your garden, flowers, or fruit trees
• Potential for a small share of honey if the hive produces surplus 🍯 (first-year yields are typically limited)
• Completely hands-off—I handle all inspections and maintenance (about 1x/week)
• Opportunity to learn about beekeeping if you’re interested (totally optional)
• Supporting local pollinators and a beginner beekeeper
What I need:
• A spot with full sun
• Placement away from regular foot traffic
The hive will be set up thoughtfully and managed responsibly. Happy to answer any questions or chat more if you’re curious!
Feel free to comment or message me directly 🙂
