Pollination Uplift
"We contracted Apiary for the 2024 almond bloom. Set counts came in at 37% above our five-year average. Same acreage, same irrigation — the only variable was hive quality."

Managed hives. Measurable yield.
Three states. One operation.
Every hive we deploy arrives strong. Our overwintering protocol — built on monitored nutrition, varroa suppression, and controlled migration timing — keeps 94.2% of colonies viable through the season. The industry averaged 59.3% last year. That 35-point gap is your yield insurance.
We run 12-frame Langstroth deeps, queen-checked within 72 hours of placement. Colony strength certificates available for every deployment.

Single hive inspection, pre-deployment

Apiary deployment, Kern County CA
Twelve thousand four hundred managed colonies dispatched in a single season — covering almond orchards in Kern County, highbush blueberry fields in the Willamette Valley, and red clover pastures across the Columbia Basin. Three states. One coordinated deployment window.
Flatbed logistics handled in-house. GPS-tracked hive placement. Growers receive placement maps within 24 hours of arrival.
Each 55-gallon drum carries 620 pounds of single-origin varietal honey — almond blossom, Willamette clover, or highbush blueberry. Every batch is tested for moisture content (target: ≤17.8%), HMF levels, pollen load, and pesticide residue before it leaves the facility.
Certificate of Analysis issued per drum. Private-label minimums start at 10 drums. Beeswax byproduct available with consistent melting point specs (62–65°C) for cosmetics formulators.
