Sponsor a Hive · launching summer 2026

Adopt a hive. Share the season.

Pick a real hive at a real partner apiary. Follow its progress through the keeper’s photos and notes. Receive a share of its honey at harvest, traceable back to the colony that made it.

How it works

A pollinator partnership, not a subscription box.

When you sponsor a Waggl hive, you're funding a working colony at a real apiary. The keeper does the keeping. You get the story, the updates, and a share of the harvest.

Step 01

Pick a hive

Browse partner apiaries across North America. Pick by region, keeper, or hive personality (yes, they have personalities).

Step 02

Sponsor the season

Annual sponsorship covers a hive's gear, treatments, and the keeper's time. Choose a tier that fits.

Step 03

Follow the season

Weekly updates pulled straight from the keeper's Waggl inspections — photos, queen status, what's blooming.

Step 04

Get the honey

At harvest, your share ships in jars labeled with your hive’s name. If the season was rough, that’s part of the story too, but you’ll be first in line for what is there.

Sponsorship tiers

Pick the size that fits.

Pricing is a placeholder for the planning phase. Final tiers will be set with our keeper partners closer to launch.

What your sponsorship funds

Three things every dollar supports.

Sponsorship pays for the working hive, the honey that comes from it, and the wildflowers that feed everything else. Final splits are being worked out with our keeper partners ahead of launch.

The keeper & the hive

Real work, real cost.

Equipment, treatments, the keeper’s time, and the day-to-day cost of running a healthy colony. Sponsorship makes that work sustainable for small-scale keepers.

Honey, made and shipped

From the apiary to your door.

Jars, labels, packaging, and the platform that keeps your updates flowing from the apiary to your inbox — no commodity blending, no anonymous middlemen.

Pollinator habitat

Bees beyond the hive.

A portion of every sponsorship funds pollinator-strip planting at partner apiaries — wildflowers, native forage, and shelter for the native bees that share the landscape.
