Help us grow our apiary by funding a new colony of bees. Your donation will cover the equipment needed to build one full hive (hive stand, bottom board, multiple hive boxes, 30 frames, inner cover, and outer cover) that will serve generations of bees. We will purchase a colony of local, organically managed bees and provide the labor to establish the hive. In their first year, bees typically only produce enough honey to make it through the winter and there is not much to harvest. Beekeepers must wait until the colony’s second year to harvest more than a small amount of honey.
