We are delighted to welcome our friends at Best Bees to the LandVest blog to tell us more about what they do.

Tell us about Best Bees:

Our founder was intent on helping the bees. Noah founded Best Bees with a dual mission of improving bee health and expanding the bee population.

Our humble beginnings took place in Boston, crafting beehives for friends and family in the historic South End. Since then, we have grown to take care of over 1,000 beehives for hundreds of clients in 12 cities across the country. The Best Bees Company is an all-inclusive beekeeping service, professionally managing honey beehives for homeowners and businesses alike.

Since 2010, weve made a tangible, positive impact on the environment, one beehive at a time.

First things first. What is a beekeeping service?

• Installation - We help you choose an ideal location to establish one or more beehives at your home or workplace.
• Maintenance - Our impassioned and experienced beekeepers service your beehives once a month, providing high-quality care and detailed reports.
