what we offer.
hive maintenance.
Are you interested in having hives of your own but don't have the time to learn how?
whole hive maintenance | For one yearly flat rate we provide bees, all equipment and all supplemental supplies needed. The honey your hive makes in excess is harvested, bottled and returned to you (Minimum guarantee of 10 pounds of honey per hive.)
apprenticeships/mentoring | we are currently full, please check back in Summer 2025
a little more about hive installation and services.
apiary site evaluation | Little Rhody Beekeeping will evaluate your property to find the optimal spot for a hive.
hive recommendations | Little Rhody Beekeeping currently recommends and runs 10-frame Langstroth in a combination of deeps and mediums.
purchase hive components and bees from vendors we know + trust | Little Rhody Beekeeping purchases woodenware from local businesses whenever possible. Bees come from our own operation or from local vendors.
It's the “bee fairy” model! |LRB will install and maintain your beehive and in return you receive honey!
existing beehives | We can take over existing beehives but please note that all bees considered healthy will be transferred onto new equipment using our system. We are not responsible for the removal of old equipment.
