Our mission is to help local ecosystems thrive through sustainable pollination.
Community Hive Project installs and maintains honeybee hives for both homeowners & farms to increase yields and strengthen local biodiversity.
Backyard Hives
Honey bees are gentle but ambitious foragers that can be introduced to most backyards, enhancing blooms and productive gardens. We handle permitting, install and all hive maintenance.
Farm Hives
We provide small-scale, targeted pollination for your crops, and we offer additional support from the USDA, pollinator plantings, and educational support for your programs.
Our belief
If you watch a bee closely, you will see it dedicating every moment of it’s short 6-week lifespan to promote the survival of it’s community. In doing so, it supports ours too.
America’s family farms are shutting down while food demands continue to rise. Today, roughly only one-third of local farms remain. Pollinators that help produce our fruits and vegetables are also vanishing at an alarming rate. In states like Massachusetts, where 45% of produce relies on pollination by bees, the connection between pollinators and our food is increasingly at risk.
Despite pressures from pollinator-plant loss and pesticide use, we believe there is an opportunity for biodiversity to thrive. That belief is what led us to start Community Hive Project.
Our mission is to help local ecosystems thrive through sustainable pollination. We provide full-service beehive management and plant installations to support backyard gardeners and landscapers, hobbyist beekeepers, and local farms.
We love to mentor and provide education to all who are interested. We are certified beekeepers through Essex County and are registered with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Services. Community Hive Project is based in Natick, Massachusetts.
