Beekeeping is a branch of agriculture that consists
of managing honeybee colonies

How do we do that?
Simple.
We offer Businesses and Schools in the area an opportunity to rent beehives
that we install on your land or on the roof of your building (if accessible). The
city of Sherbrooke and most other cities permit urban beekeeping. Rental
plans are completely tailor-made depending on the level of involvement your
business wishes to have. There are several options available to you. If you
want to involve your employees when working in beehives and introduce
them to beekeeping, there is a possibility to do so. It is a unique experience to
offer your employees. If you want to form a group of people in your business
who are extremely interested in beekeeping and would like to be self-
sufficient in taking care of the beehives on site, there is the possibility of
doing so too. The amount of honey and packaging can be tailored to your
needs. Honey can be potted for you in 300g-400g or 500g jars that you can
offer to your employees with custom labels bearing the name of company /
your company logo. There is also the possibility of having beeswax as well as
pollen. The process of extracting honey is also an option that you can take if
you want to see firsthand how honey is extracted.
Urban Beekeeping
Make an appointment with us, we can come
to your place of business or you can visit us
on our farm. We will take the time to explain
in detail the options available to you, and
provide a detailed quote, free of charge.
