BEE KC Urban Beekeepers
Free Honey for farmers, beekeeping workshops, & pollinating Kansas City
Bee KC has installed and maintains 150 honey bee hives in the KCMO metro area, as well as native bee homes at all of our sites. Free honey creates thousands of dollars for small farmers, and we host educational workshops, school visits, honey harvests, and demonstrations. Restaurants and breweries in KC make wonderful creations with our local raw honey and pollen.
We offer opportunities throughout the year to help with the hives, a great way to learn beekeeping and get rare hands-on experience. We also visit schools and other organizations with tools, equipment and even a (safe) contained colony of live bees! If you’re thinking of starting a hive, check out this page for helpful tips. Learn more about educational visits here.
If you have a swarm you’d like removed, we will capture and rehome the bees for free if time allows. For swarm information, check out this page.
As urban beekeepers, the safety and happiness of neighbors is always our number one priority. More info on our safety precautions here.
Our monthly newsletter contains news about events, beekeeping tips and seasonal practices, interesting articles and links to helpful resources and more! (Read the current issue.) We tried to make it more of an interesting magazine than a simple organizational newsletter, and we don’t add anyone to other lists or send out annoying solicitations. If you’d like to subscribe, the link is at the bottom of our contact page.
