Our Services
Every spring our hives leave Glen Acres based in the heart of Hawkes Bay and head out across the region. Strong healthy colonies are placed among flowering crops where their work as pollinators helps growers produce the fruit and seed we all rely on.
Where our bees are working this spring:
Seed crops including Dill, Radish, Onions, Carrots and Thyme
Kiwifruit Green and Gold
Apple Orchards
Fruit Pollination
For crops like kiwifruit, apples, and seed vegetables, the presence of strong, healthy hives during flowering can dramatically increase both fruit set and quality. That’s where we come in.
At Glen Acres, we manage our hives specifically for pollination success — ensuring they are:
Well-populated and healthy at the start of flowering
Strategically placed for optimal flower coverage
Regularly checked and managed during the pollination window
Seed Pollination
We work closely with growers to time hive placement precisely and support the unique needs of each crop. For us, it’s not just about dropping off hives — it’s about being active, attentive partners in your growing season.
Healthy bees = healthy fruit
Supporting Local Beekeepers
At Glen Acres, we’re here to help fellow beekeepers succeed. We offer hive inspections, apiary relocation, AFB detection and hive removal, and can supply mated queens and queen cells throughout the season.
Whether you’re just starting out or managing multiple hives, we provide trusted, hands- on support tailored to your needs.
