Would you like to help bees and have discovered through your research that it's possible to sponsor a beehive? How can we sponsor a beehive, and how does it help the bees? If these are questions you're asking yourself, you'll find the answers in this article!
Although this is just one way to help bees (in another article, we suggest 7 actions to help beesBy sponsoring a beehive, you help create a new bee colony. The new hive, in which the bees will be housed, will then be maintained in good health by our beekeeper.
By sponsoring a beehive, you cover the management costs of a colony for a year. You allow the beekeeper to do what they love most: working with bees and ensuring their health in a healthy environment.
All sponsorship packages include nectar-producing seeds. Honey flowers are flowers that offer a good amount of nectar and pollen. This increases the availability of food for bees in your area. In addition to helping bees, honey flowers attract a wide variety of pollinating insects. Don't have enough space at home to plant these flowers? Give them as a gift to a loved one or to nature! They will add to the existing wild vegetation and provide greater biodiversity.
As a beehive sponsor, you have the privilege of accessing our Private Facebook Group. In this group, you'll find exclusive information and updates about our farm and, of course, about bees! A newsletter exclusively for beehive sponsors is also available. This newsletter will allow you to learn more about bees and receive updates about the beehive you sponsor.
You help us help the bees. So, to thank you, Eric remains available to answer your questions about bees. Whether at the farm, by email, or by phone, he will be happy to answer all your questions about the fascinating world of bees.
From June to September, Friday through Sunday, visit our farm to learn more about the fascinating world of bees, discover the secrets of sea buckthorn, and explore small-scale organic vegetable production. Some sponsorship packages already include a farm visit for 4 or 8 people. It's yet another way to learn more about bees and see these wonderful little insects up close.
With the Protect the Bees package, you can name the beehive you sponsor whatever you like. The bees will then take possession of their new home.
If you select the "Discovering or Love Bees" package, personalization is unfortunately not available. Therefore, you will be grouped together, and the name of the hive you are sponsoring will be "Bee Lovers.".
The honey is harvested twice a year, in July and September. Because we use large equipment, we have to extract honey from several hives at the same time. Therefore, the honey from all the sponsored hives is extracted on the same day. Your jars of honey are then prepared with honey from all these hives. Once November arrives, we will be able to send you the honey from the sponsored hives.
Following requests from several sponsors, it is now possible to reserve more honey from sponsored hives at a discount. We offer you a discount on the quantity ordered when you sponsor a hive. In addition, for the extra honey ordered, we offer you the option of having a personalized label made with the name of your hive.
We recognize that by sponsoring a beehive you are helping the bees and the beekeeper. As a token of appreciation, in addition to the benefits already mentioned, we will send you a certificate confirming that you are sponsoring a beehive with us this year.
When you sponsor a beehive, you enable the creation of a new bee colony. These colonies can number up to 50,000 bees by the end of summer. That's a lot! Hence the importance of the bee-friendly seeds we send you when you sponsor a hive. Several other benefits are also available to you, such as a visit to our farm, personalized honey from the hives, a sponsorship certificate, and more!
