Heritage Hives offers a rare opportunity for property owners who want their land to do something extraordinary. We design and manage private beekeeping programs that are as thoughtful as they are hands-off for you — bringing expert care, local ecology, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing your property is contributing something meaningful to the world around it.

      If you have space on your property and are interested in hosting beehives, we'd love to partner with you. Our preferred method is "wilding" — catching wild bees native to your area using a bait hive, allowing the colony to establish naturally in their new home. For clients who want to get started sooner, we also transfer bees from one of our established apiaries or purchase and install a new colony. Once the bees settle in, we provide regular visits each month to ensure their health and vitality — covering everything from mite testing and treatment to seasonal feeding and queen monitoring.

      While honey production typically begins in the second year, the amount you keep each season depends on the productivity of your colony. We offer two honey share arrangements to fit your goals — clients who want to keep the full harvest may do so, with honey pulled and bottled into jars for your convenience. Those who prefer a lower program cost can opt to share half the harvest with Heritage Hives. Either way, healthy colonies always come first. Our focus is on keeping your bees thriving as vital pollinators — whether you have a garden, orchard, or simply a passion for supporting local biodiversity, your landscape will feel the difference.

    We have hit full capacity for the 2026 season and are not taking on new hive placements at this time. If you're interested in hosting bees on your property in a future season, we'd love to hear from you — reach out to be added to our waitlist and we'll be in touch when availability opens up.
