FAQ for Civic & Community Sites

Straight answers for landowners who want agricultural valuation without becoming beekeepers.

Are there liability concerns with hives on a public/community property?

No more than any public property. We carry full insurance. Clear signage and education address concerns. Honeybees rarely sting; incidents are extremely rare on professionally managed sites.

Can we involve volunteers in hive management?

Absolutely. We can train volunteers and coordinate group visits. It's a great educational and community-building opportunity.

What about allergies or people nervous about bees?

We recommend clear signage with educational info about honeybee behavior. Hives are placed in low-traffic areas. Discussion with stakeholders is key.

Can we sell honey to fundraise?

We focus on managed colonies, documentation, and customer-facing pricing. Program activities can include education and stewardship opportunities.

What if we have limited space?

Even small properties (10+ acres with decent sun) can host 2–4 hives. We'll assess and work within your constraints.

Can you help us launch a "beekeeper program" for schools or camps?

Yes. We can design educational content, host group visits, and train volunteers. Talk to us about custom programs.
