Bee Hive Rentals San Jose

Good Afternoon from the Honey Ladies.

Have you ever thought of renting to own your very own beehive?  Well get ready, we do just that.  We rent beehives to Gardner's and local home owners with small acreage farms.  We will also work with you on a rent-to-own basis.

Now you might be thinking is this a task I am ready to take on.  Taking on the role of a beekeeper is not as easy as 1 2 3.  Honeybee colonies are not like kittens or puppies that can be easily moved and/or on a very short notice.  A healthy hive in mid-summer will have approximately 30,000 happy residents.  So even with a rental, a beehive is a commitment not only to your garden and the environment, but also to the hive itself.

So with that being said, research is key when taking on this commitment.  Here are a few things you should do:

• Study..Study..Study
• Read up on Beehives.  Buy several books.  Knowledge is power.
• Join your local Bee club.  This is a great way to meet with several fellow Beekeepers to get tips and feedback on what works and doesn't.
• Take a beginners beekeeping course.  I highly recommend this as it will better familiarize yourself with the wonderful role as beekeeper.

Hive rentals are seasonal and usually done for a specific crop or the pollination of a garden.  Honeybees have outstanding pollination abilities and are ideal for backyard gardens and small acreage farmers.  Honeybees are normally available for rental from the end of April until August.

Our professionally trained beekeepers prepare the hive(s) on your property and the installation is designed to make the honeybees job of taking care of and improving your property easy, but also to protect the hive from family pets, children's play areas, excess sun, moisture and any other detrimental elements so it may flourish naturally.  

After installation, we offer maintenance and regular check-ups of the hive which is included in the price.

Local Honey San Jose

Welcome to our Blog!

About me:  I am a second generation bee keeper bringing in some old fashioned techniques but also a forward thinker when it comes to "clean" beekeeping.

Some of the services we have to offer include removals of wasps, bee's, hives and swarms.  We also offer the sale of bee's, hive rentals, and hive check up's.  Most importantly though, we offer some of the best local honey around.  Our honey is "ALWAYS" 100% raw with just the basic filtration.  What this means is we would never "extend" the honey with corn syrup or otherwise.

Here are some facts about Honey:

1.  Honey never goes bad.

2.  One bee in her lifetime does not make one spoonful of honey.   It takes about 36 bee's during their nectar collecting phase to make a tablespoon of honey.

3.  If you don't like your honey to crystallize then keep it warm.  If it does crystallize, put it in a paper bag on top of your car on a warm day and it will go back to it's liquid form.

4.  Bee's don't refrigerate their honey.  In fact, they keep it at a toasty average of 98 degrees in the summer!
