Contribute to healthy and happy honeybee populations by hosting a hive on your rooftop or in your backyard
Spring 2023
Bay Beehives installs beehives in private backyards & rooftops while offering education on sustainable beekeeping practices throughout the Greater SF Bay Area including San Francisco, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma Counties.
Reserve your bees by April…
Order by April, 2023 and receive 5 deep frames of healthy bees, brood, honey, and a young, mated queen installed by a professional beekeeper in your rooftop or backyard. We include 1 pound of pollen supplement to be fed to the bees during poor weather.
These beautiful honeybees are bred to be productive, gentle, and have a reasonable degree of mite resistance (NOT mite immunity). If well managed, the nucleus hives will serve you well for many years.
Nucs
Please Inquire about the costs for a “nuc” or nucleus colony and equipment. The average cost to get started is $800-$1200
