At Wild Hives, we follow what could be described as a ‘balanced’ beekeeping approach bridging the gap, for many hobbyists today, between a commercial (honey farmers/migratory pollinators) and a hands off natural or conservationist (bee having/bee watching) approach in community and support of the next generation of new environmentally-aware beekeepers. We focus on sustainable 'touch' methods and ‘simple’ equipment solutions that foster bee welfare and facilitates the bee’s natural behaviors while working well within their limits. We support both urban and rural hobbyist beekeepers who want to keep bees on a modest scale and we do this through personal support, education, equipment, and the sale of local overwintered nucs and queens. We understand our main job, as beekeepers, is to learn from the bees who know best while also being mindful of our special responsibility as human beings to also be 'earth-keepers'.
