Invest in bees for a sustainable future - BEE FRIEND
Companies

Our corporate bee sponsorship packages enable your company to engage locally with global environmental challenges.

Your committment supports the bees directly in their natural habitat and immediately secures their future.

Sponsorship Package for Companies


With a monthly subscription fee you finance one or more beehives for a minimum of one year, or longer if you wish. If you have adequate space, the hives can be hosted on your premises. Otherwise they remain at one of our sites. We provide the full-service beekeeping operation needed to maintain the hives, ensure their health, and harvest their honey. The honey produced by the bees you sponsor is yours entirely. We fill and deliver it in glasses branded with your company logo - this provides you with unique company gifts and marketing opportunities.


No matter how you choose to support, you will help the bees and our environment sustainably.

* This is for guidance only. Since bees act depending on weather and temperature, we can only estimate how many inspections will be necessary for their wellbeing. If the bees are hosted on your company premises, you grant us access to the colonies as needed, at your convenience, of course.


We are currently operating for corporate clients in Germany, with our hives located in the Munich area and Upper Bavaria. International clients are encouraged to reach out to discuss options.
