About
The Best Bees Company is the leading beekeeping service in the United States. We are now seizing the opportunity to provide applied biodiversity solutions for sustainability and ESG reporting. Best Bees has developed globe-changing technologies and needs investment to bring them to market. These include innovating new products, such as SmartHive sensors and eDNA genomics, to improve the health of pollinators and biodiversity.
We created the beekeeping services industry in 2010, attaining the first-mover advantage across 25 regions in the US. We are Ph.D.-founded with scientific innovation at the heart of everything we do, from our proprietary software Bzzz, for which we write the code in-house, to our cutting-edge research products like HoneyDNA(TM) genomics to patented SmartHive(TM) remote sensors that kill Varroa mite infections using a chemical-free approach, including heat, remote sensing, and AI camera technology. We’re a Certified Diverse Vendor as an LGBT Business Enterprise.
Key Benefits
Our clients are aware of the massive losses of beehives due to Varroa mites and their impact on our planet’s biodiversity and want to act. Hiring Best Bees is a way to take action to improve bee health and promote and protect nature and biodiversity. In the United States, 56% of backyard beehives died from 2022-2023, while Best Bees beehives in our most extensive region of Boston only lost 9% of all hives. Primary motivations for our services include eradicating Varroa mites, improving bee health through our advanced technology monitoring, increasing sustainability efforts, engaging tenants and stakeholders, protecting pollinators and the planet, advancing sustainability reporting, and Green Building certifications like LEED, SITES, FitWel, and WELL.
Applications
We install and maintain research honey beehives at home gardens, business rooftops, and institutional campuses like the US Federal Government across 25 greater metro regions. Our residential clients are high-net-worth individuals with two or more properties in the US, estimated at $5 million or more. Our corporate market includes large companies with Sustainability and ESG goals across Commercial Real Estate and Fortune 500 campuses. The Best Bees Company's product is scalable because bees and beekeepers - and the Varroa mite problem - are worldwide, especially now that the mites have come to Australia. Varroa arrived in the United States in 1987 and even earlier throughout Europe, where our development partner, BeeFutures, operates, and so we have decades of a head start on the eradication problem that we are now finally ready to share.
