People want to get involved in supporting pollinators because they have heard that bees are in decline. Mostly that means buying local honey. But honey is a low-margin wholesale agricultural product; not a good basis for entrepreneurship. So what's a side hustler to do? Lease bees to those most motivated and provide education in beekeeping! The customer can produce their own ultra-local honey & the entrepreneur can ignore commodity pricing and focus on high-value-added services instead.

Man has too long forgotten that the earth was given to him for usufruct alone, not for consumption, still less for profligate waste. -George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882)

About Me

Looking to network with others working in beekeeping, urban agriculture, or unorthodox customer service businesses.

I'm also always happy to talk about my side hustle, a beekeeping business that brings the bees and the beekeeping education directly to the customer. Chapel Hill Bees LLC leases, installs, and maintains beehives on our customers' property. According to your needs, you can be completely hands-off or dive in to learning how to keep bees. Our services are also ideal for small businesses that want to produce beeswax and raw honey on-site for their natural product lines.

Have you heard about the decline of honey bees around the world and felt moved to help by hosting a bee colony? Do you want higher yields for your community garden the natural way? Want to take the hassle out of sourcing chemical-free wax for your cosmetics? Would you like someone to provide hands-on instruction to get you started keeping bees? Chapel Hill Bee LLC can help!
