our services
Start and set up a new hive
For those new to beekeeping. The hobbyist, homesteader, the environment enthusiast. We are here for you. Hive Noon offers several service options. One time visit, Monthly, Annually, and a special feature learning program.
Maintain a healthy hive
Honey bees can be a lot of fun and very enjoyable. With our one time visit or monthly visit Hive Noon can make sure your bees are healthy and well from checking mites and other pests to making sure there are no diseases. We also can recommend plants that honey bees just love and keep them happy.
Treat and Prevent Pests and Diseases
Keeping up with mite control and hive beetle elimination is very important. Hive Noon monthly program would help with this. We spend the time to learn your bees and what is right for them, spending the month getting them into tip top shape especially heading into the winter months or early spring before the honey flow.

Winter is a tough time for honey bees and it's better to be prepared. The weather can be unpredictable and hard on honey bees but here at Hive Noon we will do everything we can to make sure your bees survive the winter. From thermal insulation and sugar brick for extra food to dry pollen in the late fall and early spring. Prepping a bee hive for winter is very important.
