Sponsorship & Conservation

As we prepare for the arrival of new colonies, we're reaching out to our community with an important update: we are still seeking two additional sponsors for either Honeybee Packages or Nucs. Your support directly strengthens our apiary, helps expand pollinator habitat, and keeps our local ecosystem thriving.

Only 2 Spots Remaining for 2026!

We have just two sponsorship openings left for the 2026 season — for either a Honeybee Package or a Nuc. Once these are filled, the window closes until next year. Spring orders must be placed by April 4th, so now is the time to act.

What Your Sponsorship Does

Each sponsored package or nuc is installed directly into our apiary, helping us rebuild after winter losses and expand our pollinator presence in central Maine. A single healthy colony can grow from 8,000–10,000 bees to over 60,000 in a single season — pollinating local crops, wildflowers, and gardens along the way.

Sponsors receive recognition on our website, updates throughout the season, and the deep satisfaction of knowing their contribution is making a real, measurable difference for Maine's ecosystem.

🌼 Ongoing Support Opportunities

Even if a full sponsorship isn't the right fit, there are still meaningful ways to contribute. Every contribution — big or small — helps us care for our bees and continue our mission.

Apiary Supporters

Open year-round. Become an ongoing supporter of our apiary and help cover the costs of hive maintenance, equipment, and bee health throughout the entire season.
