Managed beehives. Complete care.
A Hive 17 installation brings fully managed beehives to your business premises. We own and supply the hives, bees and equipment, then look after the colonies throughout the year. Serving North West England and North Wales, we tailor each proposal to the site and the number of hives.
Your space.
Our care.
Our service follows the needs of the bees and your premises, from the first assessment through to seasonal care and any honey harvest.
Site suitability
We consider access, forage, neighbouring land and how staff and visitors use your site. We recommend hives only where the location is suitable.
Installation
Hive 17 supplies the hives, colonies and equipment, with placement agreed for your premises. Our sage-green and cream hives provide a distinctive, considered finish.
Seasonal management
Colony inspections and care are scheduled around the active season, weather and the needs of each colony.
Colony health
We monitor colony condition, manage seasonal feeding where needed and prepare the bees for winter.
Site honey
Where there is a harvestable surplus, your honey can be bottled in Hive 17 jars with an acknowledgement of your site. Honey yields vary.
A personal proposal
Contact us with your company name, site location and outdoor space. We will discuss suitability, hive numbers and a managed service proposal.
