Why adopt a beehive?
Why Adopt a Beehive?
- Doing something positive to make a difference to the bee crisis and crop pollination.
- Helping a Young Apiarist learn beekeeping skills and support the future of this vital industry.
- Protecting local bees by contributing to safe sanctuaries where they can live, feed and produce healthy hives and honey.
- Supporting the use of traditional/old style, natural beekeeping methods.
- Enjoying the flavour and health benefits of pure chemical-free, unadulterated honey.
- Assisting the training of new beekeepers and establishment of more Bee Sanctuaries around Australia.
- Helping the most important insect on our planet – No bees, no food!
If we do nothing, the future of our food crops may be severely impacted, meaning our own diets will be changed dramatically if we lose our honey bees.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi
What's in it for you?

- For a once only "hive establishment" investment of $590 (inc GST) you will be rewarded with 8 kg of pure, 100% raw honey from the hive, during the honey harvest.
- You will receive a further 8 kg of delicious honey when you renew your annual hive maintenance subscription of $125 (inc GST), due on your Adoption Anniversary date.
- You get to Crown your Queen by naming her!
- You enjoy your honey without getting “sticky fingers” because we harvest and maintain the hive for you.
- During the honey season you will be invited to attend our Field Tasting Days. You will taste honey from various locations, meet with the Apiarist and her team of helpers, giving you an up-close-and-personal experience.
- You will receive a Certificate of Adoption as confirmation of your ownership.
- We guarantee that your hive will be located on an Certified Organic, Biodynamic or clean farm. All are free from chemicals, pesticides and insecticides so you know your bees are safe and healthy.
About the Program

Bee Sanctuaries
Currently, we have bee sanctuaries located around South East Queensland, with more sanctuaries to be established in the coming spring. Our sanctuaries host between 4-10 bee hives per location. To fit our criteria as a host farm, we stipulate the farm has to be organic or biodynamic and have sufficient flower coverage throughout the year to ensure the bees do not starve. Our hives stay permanently at the allocated sanctuary. This minimises stress on the hive.
