Honey Bee
‘Give Bees a Chance’ is the motto taken up by the Greens in the European Parliament in their effort to ban pesticides they say are killing honey bees.
The ‘Host a Hive’ program allows individuals and families to enjoy the benefits and wonder of having bees in their yards without the worry of caring for and maintaining a bee hive. To support bee hives successfully, it takes a great deal of knowledge as well as a continued time investment which often acts as a barrier for those interested in bees to make the leap into beekeeping. So East Van Bees is now offering backyard beehive installations and ongoing hive maintenance to individuals and families who are interested in having the benefit of pollinators for their gardens as well as access to honey from their own backyard without the added commitment of being responsible for the bees’ care. ‘Hosts’ will receive some of the honey collected from their hive** depending on the level of the hosting package that is picked.

In the “Host a Hive” program, East Van Bees maintains ownership of all hives and the bees who live in them, but at any point you wish to transition into purchasing and maintaining your own hive East Van Bees would be happy to help you as much as you would like. Having bees in communities is vitally important, so at East Van Bees, we would like to be supportive of the welfare of bees in our community through whatever avenues possible. There is an option of private beekeeping education and services on an a la carte basis as it suites your needs.
East Van Bees specializes in managing bee hives in urban and suburban areas so are quite use to being creative in smaller yard spaces. In fact, East Van Bees, has even installed and maintained roof top beehives in the absence of a yard space option. Please feel free to contact East Van Bees for a free consultation and evaluation of optimal location for hives in your space. If you have any safety questions related to be having bees in your yard please do not hesitate to contact us.
