Tiny Bee Homes are more than just beehives:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Each home is crafted to resemble a charming tiny house, adding a magical touch to any yard or rooftop.
  • Functional Design: Removable frames and thoughtful ventilation ensure healthy, happy bees and easy hive management.
  • Sustainable Materials: We aim to use eco-friendly, durable materials that keep bees snug through changing seasons.

Because a beehive doesn’t have to be boring—it can be a storybook cottage for our buzzy friends!

🔧 Our Installation Process

  1. Site Assessment
    We’ll visit your location (be it a backyard, community garden, or rooftop) to determine the perfect spot for your Tiny Bee Home. We look for:

    • Sunlight: Early morning sun helps the bees get moving.
    • Wind Protection: A cozy nook or windbreak keeps bees calm.
    • Water Source: A nearby water supply helps them stay hydrated and regulate hive temperature.

  2. Customization
    We’ll recommend hive styles and decorative elements to suit your space and personal taste. Whether you want a pastel cottage look or a rustic cabin vibe, each Tiny Bee Home can be tailored to match your aesthetic.

  3. Delivery & Setup
    Our team will install the Tiny Bee Home on-site, ensuring proper orientation, leveling, and entrance placement. We’ll introduce a healthy colony of local bees—optimally sourced to thrive in the Columbia River Gorge environment.

  4. Ongoing Support
    After setup, we provide regular check-ups, maintenance, and any assistance you need to keep your hive buzzing strong. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like!

Pro Tip: Ask us about planting bee-friendly flowers and herbs nearby—your new pollinator pals will love you for it.
