Long Garden Bees install and maintain beehives for corporations and organisations on location to improve their status regarding sustainability, environmental protection and biodiversity. Our hive programmes offer a unique opportunity for employees to interact with the bees, their organisation and each other.
When we look at the honey bee, they thrive and succeed by going out of the hive and interacting with their environment, and they leave everything they touch in a better way than when they found it, as well as producing up to 100lbs of honey. We believe this philosophy is true also for successful companies in business in Ireland, who thrive because they understand that people and planet are just as important as profit, and that all three are interdependent.
Through our Corporate Hive Programme, our clients can not only demonstrate a commitment sustainability but also commit to improving their organisation, by learning about the hive and using these lessons to improve the overall impact of the company, as well as increasing production. In other words, companies are learning from the greatest organisation of them all; the honeybee colony.
What is included:
- Installation of a beautiful, wooden Long Garden Bees hive branded in the client’s corporate logo, positioned in a safe on-site location, filled with Native Irish Honeybees.
- Maintain the hive by the Long Garden Bees team who are experienced in the field of beekeeping in Ireland with four generations of honeybee knowledge

This is our way of saying, we want to share the story of the honey bee in order to support businesses as they grow into effective organisations, whilst also impacting positively on the environment.
Our Corporate Packages are ALWAYS tailored to reflect the values and mission of our partner organisations. We want our bees to spread your pollinate and spread your story. Get in touch to find out how we can work together in creating a better place to live, work and do business.
