Hive Rental Services

Primitive Honey Farm offers full-service honey bee hive rentals for gardeners, orchards, landowners, and anyone interested in experiencing honey bees without the responsibility of ongoing maintenance. Based in Charlton, New York, our hive rentals support local pollination while giving clients a direct connection to the bees working their land.

Hive rentals are ideal for:

• Home gardens and homesteads

• Orchards and small farms

• Educational properties and nature-focused spaces

We handle every aspect of hive management, including installation, routine inspections, pest management, and honey harvesting. Clients enjoy the benefits of increased pollination, seasonal updates, and a share of the honey their hive produces—without needing to open a hive or manage bees themselves.

Each hive is maintained using evidence-based practices and informed by ongoing hive monitoring and applied research. Our approach blends traditional beekeeping with modern observation and data collection to ensure strong, healthy colonies throughout the season.
