Adopt A Hive

Description

Our $250 honey bee hive sponsorship helps Save The Bees USA support a working colony. You can choose this symbolic adoption for yourself, your family or an organization through the shop.

What happens at the hive?

Because the colony stays with its beekeeper, you can support its care even if you do not have space for a hive. For example, a beekeeper can examine the frames to see where workers are storing food and where the queen has been laying eggs. Beyond the hive, workers gather nectar and pollen from flowering plants. As a result, pollen moves between flowers as the bees forage.

Is a honey bee hive sponsorship the right gift?

When you choose an adoption as a gift, first decide whether you want to put a name on the hive. For a named gift, open the personalized hive adoption form. With a donation of $200 or more on that form, you can choose a name for the hive and tell us whose name to put on the digital certificate.

If you prefer the fixed $250 shop option, use the Add to cart button on this page.
