"Supporting Bee Populations in Maine & Beyond"
Saving the Honeybees is a beekeeping organization started by Hood Brook Apiary and is dedicated to preserving and protecting the declining honeybee population. We offer various sponsorship programs, including Supporter, Sponsor a Package of Bees, Sponsor a Nuc of Bees, and Sponsor a Complete Colony of Bees, to help fund our efforts in promoting beekeeping and educating the public about the importance of honeybees in our ecosystem.
BE A SUPPORTER $50
Your 1-time SUPPORTER donation of $50 is put to good use for Apiary Operations such as feed and any needed all-natural treatments that the bees may require. It also helps with equipment maintenance, repair, upgrades, and more. It will also be used by cleaning up open, weed-infested areas with wildflower seed for a pollinator habitat! This will attract honeybees, butterflies, hummingbirds, moths, and various species of bees, wasps, and hornets.

SPONSOR a "PACKAGE" of HONEYBEES $165
Sponsoring a "Package" of Honeybees allows us to repopulate a dead-out hive or start a new one. The package contains 3 Lbs. or about 10,000 bees. This includes a mated queen in her own cage in the package, workers, and drones. With a package, they start fresh with a new queen and, at that point, unrelated bees. After the package is installed in a hive, it takes about 2 to 3 more days before the queen can be released if she hasn't done so herself by then. Then she will start laying 1,500 to 2,000+ eggs per day making the colony swiftly grow.

Colony Adoption Program
The Colony Adoption Program is a program that helps feral cat colonies by providing them with necessary resources and finding them permanent homes.
Educational Workshops
Educational workshops provide a hands-on and interactive learning experience for participants to gain new knowledge and skills.
Pollination Services
Pollination services are essential for the reproduction and survival of many plant species, as they facilitate the transfer of pollen between flowers.
