Adopt A Honey Bee Or Hive
Support local bees in the Finger Lakes by adopting a honey bee or hive for yourself or as a sweet gift for the bee lover in your life. *You are not adopting live bees
Adopting a Honey Bee or Hive with Fingerlakes Honey Company means you'll feel good about supporting local bees and a local beekeeper. The bees and hives are located in our apiary in the bee-utiful Finger Lakes Region of New York.
Your adoption helps support healthy bee colonies that are vital to pollination and our ecosystem. Donations help us purchase bees, hive equipment, woodenware, supplies, and organic treatments that keep our hives thriving.
Whether you're fascinated by beekeeping, unable to keep bees where you live, or simply want to help pollinators, this is a meaningful and unique way to make a difference—without needing your own beekeeping suit!
These adoptions also make wonderful gifts for birthdays, weddings, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, holidays, or any bee enthusiast in your life.

📦 Shipping Fee Guarantee
Because shipping costs vary based on weight, distance, and carrier rates, you may occasionally pay slightly more than the actual shipping cost.
If that happens, you choose what happens to the difference:
• 💳 Refunded to your original payment method, or
• 🐝 Donated to help support our bees and beekeeping work
🐝 For Bee & Hive Adoptions, donated shipping differences directly help support hive care, bee health, adoption materials, packaging, and apiary upkeep.
No hidden fees. No automatic upcharges. Just honesty — and a little extra good in the world.
