Finding hive hosts
Suggest gardens, schools, and businesses that could host a community hive. Staff review each host.
Why a city needs volunteers
A community hive starts with a city campaign. Each campaign starts in the Gathering Interest stage. In that stage, people follow the campaign, volunteer, and propose a host. We collect no payment in that stage.
Then staff review the host, the beekeeper, the purpose, and the goal. Your form tells staff where people want to help and what they want to do.
You can ask Adopt The Bees to review a hive for your city on the Start a Hive page.
