Frequently Asked Questions About Our Corporate Beekeeping Program

Program Basics

What is included in corporate beekeeping services, and do you offer products and programming to enhance my service?

What does a honey bee hive look like, and how much space does it take up?

A managed honey bee hive requires very little space—approximately 8 square feet. Each hive typically measures no more than 16" x 22" x 40" in footprint. At Best Bees, we use standard 10-frame Langstroth hives, the most widely adopted hive design in modern beekeeping. These hives are compact, efficient, and designed to support both healthy colony growth and ease of management by our professional beekeepers.

Where can hives be installed?

How many hives should we have on our property?

Many clients choose to begin with 2–4 hives and expand over time. We recommend a minimum of two beehives to maximize biodiversity and resilience.

Keeping multiple hives provides essential benefits for both bees and beekeepers. With two or more colonies on-site, beekeepers can share resources between hives—like brood, honey, or worker bees—making it easier to resolve challenges quickly. Multiple hives also reduce the risk of total colony loss, since even if one hive struggles, others are likely to thrive. For research and sustainability, having several hives side by side creates stronger data, helps identify resilient genetics, and increases pollination across the surrounding area.

From a client perspective, adding a second hive means greater sustainability impact, more honey to share, higher pollination benefits for local ecosystems, and often lower rates per hive as the program scales. In short, a multi-hive program amplifies your impact while providing more resilience, value, and measurable results.

Do we have to take care of the hives ourselves?

Safety & Liability

Are corporate hives safe for tenants and employees?

What about liability or insurance requirements?

What if someone on-site has a bee allergy?

Sustainability Reporting & ESG Impact

How does corporate beekeeping support ESG goals?

What type of reports do you offer?

HoneyDNA™ reports: Our team will collect honey samples and identify the pollen’s genomic profile. This allows us to identify the plants from which your bees foraged, giving us insight into their habitat and its biodiversity. Our team collects a sample, analyses the data, and delivers a digital report detailing the unique makeup of your honey. By sequencing pollen found in honey, we identify local plant diversity, track invasive species, and establish real-time biodiversity baselines.

HoneyDNA Insights:

✔ Identifies native and invasive species

✔ Highlights plant species in abundance

✔ Flags pollinator-friendly plants

✔ Tracks on-site biodiversity over time

✔ Creates a biodiversity baseline to build off of

End-of-Year Bee Health Report: Gain insight into the health, productivity, and status of your bees over the year with this in-depth digital report. An excellent resource for engaging stakeholders and investors in your sustainability efforts.

Report Includes:

✔ General Health Score Across Property

✔ Queen Health and Productivity

✔ Honey Throughout the Year

✔ Pests & Parasites

✔ HoneyDNA™ analysis

Do you offer bundles?

How do honey bees help the environment?

Bees pollinate plants within a 3–5 mile radius of your property, boosting local biodiversity, strengthening green infrastructure, and supporting urban resilience.

Beyond pollination, honey bees are considered an indicator species. This means their health reflects the overall condition of their surrounding environment. Because they are susceptible to changes in forage availability, pesticides, invasive plants, and climate shifts, they serve as an early warning system for ecosystem health. Monitoring bee health provides valuable insights into biodiversity trends, habitat quality, and emerging environmental risks, making them a critical ally in tracking and improving local sustainability.

Can this program help us with green building certifications?

Employee & Tenant Engagement

How can tenants or employees get involved?

Do you offer programming for Earth Day or sustainability events?

Honey & Deliverables

Do we get honey from our hives?

What if our hives don’t produce enough honey?

Can we brand the honey jars with our logo?

Yes! Co-branded honey jars are available as an additional purchase for clients who want to share their hives’ impact uniquely. We offer custom labels featuring your logo and any additional messaging you’d like to include. This makes each jar a memorable gift for employees, tenants, or stakeholders. Fully customized packaging options are also available upon request for a more tailored presentation.

What size jars do you offer?

We offer a range of honey jar sizes depending on your program and customization preferences.

For corporate clients who purchase co-branded labels: 3-oz and 6-oz jars are available. These labels feature your organization’s logo and messaging, making them a unique and memorable gift.
For all other clients: We provide standard jar sizes of 6 oz, 13.5 oz, and 24 oz.

This structure allows for flexibility in both large-scale corporate gifting and individual enjoyment, while ensuring that every jar showcases the pure, ultra-local honey from your hives.
