What Is the Sweet Hive?

The Sweet Hive is a community-supported apiary hosted at Sweet Flower Farm. Members invest in individual hives that are collectively cared for by the Bee Resonance Project using natural, respectful beekeeping practices.

The apiary begins with 10 hives and has the capacity to grow up to 30 hives over time as the community expands.
