Join us and become a part of the Plan Bee community!
​
* If your site isn't suitable for hives, we'll partner you with a nearby location and arrange hive visits.
Note: We will bring all of the equipment and set up a convenient location for the honey harvest (typically end of August).
All of our hives are fully insured and licensed with the City of Calgary.
Services
Plan Bee is your one-stop shop for all things beekeeping! We make it fun and accessible by opening up the hives for a truly unique hands-on experience. For a lasting legacy, each jar will have a personalized label, and you'll have the opportunity to extract fresh honey with a flavour that's unique to the location of the hives.
Hands-On Learning
Enjoy taking a peek inside the hive during a regular weekly inspection, and feel the energy and buzz of the colony. We provide full body suits and full length gloves for your protection, and takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes!
Name the Queen
Plan Bee offers a unique experience to honour a special woman (or man!) in your life by naming the queen of your hive. That name will be included on every label of honey sold from the hive, for a lasting legacy.
Harvest the Honey
Enjoy the sweet rewards of harvesting your own honey, straight from the hive. Try your hand at every task, from uncapping the honey frames, to testing moisture with the refractometer, to spinning Dorothy (the honey extractor!) and more!
