Hive Hero sign-up and hive adoption
When you adopt a hive, you support the work of caring for a honey bee colony. For instance, the beekeeper looks for eggs and young bees to see how the colony is growing. They also check food stores because flowers may grow scarce between blooms.
For example, a Hive Hero can dedicate a gift to a loved one or mark a birthday. The Adopt A Hive page explains how to name a hive and which gifts qualify for an engraved nameplate and a digital certificate. If you would also like to help native bees, explore pollinator gardens for ideas you can put to work at home.

Being someone passionate about the environment, adopting a hive through this program has truly been a game-changer. The regular updates on my hive’s progress and the insightful educational resources have genuinely elevated my understanding of backyard beekeeping. It’s not just about having a hive; it’s about being part of a feel-good journey, contributing to the vital well-being of these bees. For fellow nature lovers and those looking for a hands-on approach to environmental impact, I wholeheartedly recommend the Adopt a Hive program.
Being involved in the Adopt a Hive program makes me feel like a bee advocate! It’s genuinely uplifting to witness the concrete impact of my support. I have always loved bees but am scared to death of getting stung so no way would I want to get close to them. But I am so fascinated by Bees! This is perfect for me! If interested in actively supporting bees and want to make a meaningful impact, this program is truly exceptional!
I’m thrilled to join the Adopt a Hive program! I made a donation in memory of my mother, who was passionate about bees. This program brings me a bit closer to her. The updates on the bees are fascinating, I had no idea! I’m learning a lot. It’s more than just supporting a hive; it feels like being part of a big community working together to save the environment. If you’re looking for a meaningful and enjoyable way to make a difference for the planet and involve those close to you, this program is truly fantastic!
Can a Hive Hero name a hive as a gift?
Yes. For a named hive, choose a gift of $200 or more on the Adopt A Hive page. As you complete the form, check both the hive name and the recipient’s name so the nameplate and certificate read the way you want. Alternatively, you can give a smaller amount to support the program.
