How to Adopt-a-hive

If you’re passionate about gardening, concerned about wildlife and the environment, and determined to make a difference to ensure honeybees exist in the province for future generations, you might consider sponsoring a beehive or two.

“We handle all of the work so that you can enjoy the charm of the hive, learn about beekeeping, pollinate all your flowers and enjoy pure local honey from your own backyard. We even have a honeybee farm to keep a hive for you if you don’t have the space,” Paul Dinn said.

The program includes:

■ Provincial registration.

■ Regular checks of hive activity.

■ Regular hive inspection.

■ Newfoundland honeybees.

■ Equipment.

■ Transportation and installation.

■ Insurance.

Anyone interested in getting a hive can contact Paul Dinn via Facebook and he will make arrangements to come to your property for an assessment to see if the location is appropriate for a hive.

“I won’t put one there if it is not ideal,” he said. “My big thing is no one is losing their bees. I don’t care, I will do all I can to save them.”
