Sustainable Practices for
Honey Bees and
Our Ecosystem
Nate’s Hives is committed to a collaborative approach that brings together beekeepers, farmers, ranchers and researchers to create positive change that extends well beyond our own honey bee hives. Without the help of honey bees, more than 130 types of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds would disappear from our diets – making honey bees essential to life as we know it.
