Adopt-A-Hive at our apiary - $90.

You know you want bees but not sure if your backyard is the place for them just yet. Maybe you rent and the “no pets” rule includes bees. Or perhaps it’s none of that, you know you want bees but prefer that they’re not on your property. No worries, you can purchase your bees and beehive from us.

  • Nuc or full hive
  • We’ll set it up and keep it at our apiary.
  • We’re here to help and will advise you on the purchase of your bee suit, tools, and equipment. 
  • Come to the apiary monthly to help manage your hive so you’re sure to get proper training and experience.
  • We’ll work one-on-one with you so you get customized lessons at your own pace. 
  • We ask that you come a minimum of once a month for a hive inspection. Most beekeepers come twice a month. You’re welcome to come more than twice a month but you’ll be working in other hives to give you a broader experience.
  • At the end of the season, you’ll harvest honey from your hive! 
  • In the rare event that your hive doesn’t produce enough honey to harvest, you can harvest from one of our other hives so you get that experience – and honey! 
  • If you travel and need to be away for a month or more, no worries, we’ll mālama your hive while you’re away. 
  • If life changes and you want to move your hive to your property at some point, that’s always an option.

What our current beekeepers are saying...

My husband and I met Katie when she saved a swarm of wild honeybees on our property and helped us start our own hive. We were inspired by her calm, knowledgeable professionalism, so much so that we asked if she would mentor us. Now we are learning that there’s a lot to learn about bees! Thank goodness we have Katie as our guide!
Diana & Jim CrittendonWaialua
We love the adopt-a-hive program! After spending hours on the internet trying to figure out things ourselves we wish we would have joined the program sooner. Katie is extremely knowledgeable and is very good with adults and children.
The Kamauu OhanaWaialua, HI
Love love love working with Katie to learn the mysterious and fascinating world of beekeeping! Katie’s expertise, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for the amazing lives of bees is inspiring and infectious. With Katie’s guidance, I am learning constantly, fascinated with each peek into the hives, keeping Hawaii’s critical pollinators healthier, and rewarded with happy bees and amazing honey.

1. Where to begin?

Contact us! We’d love to answer any questions you have. If you decide a HĀNAI HIVE seems right for you, we’ll schedule a time to meet up to plan next steps. 

2. What to expect?

If you’d like you to HĀNAI a hive on your property, we’ll meet at your location to assess the space. If it’s a good fit for you and the bees, we’ll make a plan for placement and schedule a moving day!

If you prefer to HĀNAI a Hive at one of our apiaries, we’ll meet there.

Hive-In-Light
Apiary

3. Moving Day!

If you HĀNAI a hive at your property, we’ll come just after dusk when all the bees are in their box and set up your hive.   

If you HĀNAI a Hive at one of our apiaries, your bees will be waiting for you!

And… the journey begins!
