Hive Hire
Discover the Thrill of Bees without the hassle of maintaining them
Service Description
Beekeeping is a fulfilling and beneficial pastime that supports local ecosystems, however, finding the necessary time for this rewarding adventure can be a challenge.
That's where Hive Hire comes in – experience all the benefits of keeping bees without the obligations of hive maintenance. I take care of everything, from providing a fully functional beehive on your property to ensuring its health and well-being, including regular health checks and disease maintenance. And if your hive produces any excess honey, its all yours! Please note that if you would like me to extract the honey and bottle it for you this will be an additional small fee.
You're more than welcome to come join me in the hive maintenance checks, I can bring all the beesuits required for all ages - these will have to be organised in advance.
For those looking for education beyond just hive maintenance, I teach Level 3 Beekeeping through Pacific Coast Techinical Institute. Classes start in July, contact me for more information.
Now, there's no need to wait any longer to embark on your beekeeping adventure. Hire a hive today and bask in the joy of watching your colony thrive!

How does it work?
STEP01
Register your interest online, I will come and introduce myself, inspect the site, and help you decide which options are best suited for you
STEP02
I deliver and install a complete hive with a healthy colony of bees on your property - sit back and enjoy watching!
STEP03
After this, I will visit around once a month to check on the hive and make sure your bees are healthy, well-fed and productive. I'll update you on how they're doing.
STEP04
I'm not in it for the honey, but it sure is nice. When your colony has made a surplus I'll harvest, extract, and bottle it for you.
STEP05
You are more than welcome to watch and learn if you're interested in buying the hive and managing them on your own one day
