Supporting local organic food sustainability by offering honeybee hive hosting and Rent the Chicken to the lower Vancouver Island region. Bee happy. Bee healthy.

Welcome to Bees Please Farms. Our goal is to help bring bees and chickens to those who want to enjoy fresh honey and eggs without committing to spending the time and money to do it all on their own. We offer Hive Hosting where you get to keep bee hives on your land, but we do all of the work. In return, you get honey, education, and the joy of watching bees at their work in your area. At Bees Plea
se, we keep the travel of our bees to a minimum by hosting on a yearly basis, thus reducing their travel stress. Happy, healthy bees are our main focus. Honey bees are facing many challenges these days, including mites, diseases, and pesticides. The current mortality rate for honey bees on Van Isl is around 50% each year. We strive to lower that number and share our knowledge with other beekeepers around the world. We also offer Rent The Chicken, where we deliver coops, laying hens, feed, food and water dishes, and instructions on how to care for your chickens. The chickens stay with you in their portable backyard coop for their laying period of May-October and then we pick them up and return them to the farm. If you decide you can’t bear to let them go there are also adoption packages available. Now offering Hatch the Chicken as well! We look forward to hearing from you. Bee loved.

I don't use Instagram much, it's not my preferred platform. But today is a special day. Many years in the making, and Bees Please has now gone Electric! I brought home our new car last night. I'll still have to use the truck for bigger equipment moves, and things like sugar bucket season, nuc installations and harvesting, but most day to day hive checks will be in this new BeeMobile. See you on the roads!

I don't post to FB much here, except when I have big sales news or something to that effect.
If you want to follow animal posts, and what's happening here on the farm with me personally (versus 100% work) come follow me on TikTok at beespleaseanimals. I'm a music lover, and this platform is way more fun for me. You will see mostly ponies, but all of the animals will pop up I'm sure (even the small human ones).

Labelling time!
Getting all of the backyard honey labelled up for my bee customers. I love all of the unique labels. Everyone gets to name their own honey.
Thanks to Horizon Signs for their hard work every year to print sheets of these for us.

Why rent chickens? Renting is a great way to see if chicken ownership is for you. It is also a fantastic way to seasonally enjoy chickens. Chickens are a fun pet, that happen to also provide you with healthy food!
Bonus: We will look after your chickens for you if you have vacation plans!
