What your share does
Your share pays for a real hive and its care on a partner apiary, so more colonies are kept healthy in the mountain meadows. It also gives small farmers a steady income from people who value their work.
See the difference for yourself
Unlike a donation you never hear about again, you follow your bees: a live camera once the hive is placed, monthly photo reports, and honey from your own hive at harvest.
How it works
Choose a share: an eighth, a quarter, a half or a whole beehive. Presale prices start at $120 and are 20% below launch prices.
Your share is registered in your name and assigned to a real hive on a partner apiary in Armenia. Design how it looks - hive colour, a plaque with your name, your own jar label and packaging.
Follow your bees through the season in the Aygepan app: a live camera once the hive is placed, monthly photo reports, and a farm you can explore like a game.
At harvest you choose what happens to your honey: ship it to your door anywhere in the world, sell it, or reinvest. A whole hive is estimated at 8–14 kg of honey a year once it is producing.
