WHAT WE DO |
HOW IT ALL WORKS |
|
For $299.00 + gst / year, you can rent a
fully managed beehive, delivered to your backyard. Depending on the time of the year, there will be 1 or 2 brood boxes with honey collection boxes on top. Having a bee hive on your property, will greatly increase the productivity of all your gardens. Most plants whether they are edible or not require pollination to survive and prosper. |
We perform all maintenance on the hive. This involves onsite checks every 3 weeks or so, with more visits during the honey flow season. During the visits we check general bee health, queen laying patterns & food stores . At the start of spring all hives are re-queened and checked again prior to the start of the season. Annually we perform compulsory disease elimination checks required by Government agencies and ensure the health of the hive. We register the apiary site and hive and pay for all levies and fees required by law.
|
Once the bees have been delivered to your
backyard, it will take a couple of days for them to settle in to their new surroundings and go to work. During the honey flow season, we extract the honey from the top boxes, in our own fully registered extraction plant. Your honey is independently tested for safe consumption and then packaged in food grade bulk pails. You receive, 10kg of beautiful honey for you to share with family and friends or just keep to enjoy for yourself. |
