More about how our cooperative beekeeping works

Cooperative beekeeping works in a similar way, but the arrangements can vary between different cooperative beekeeping operations. This is our version!

The honey harvest of cooperative beekeeping hives in one and the same apiary is mixed and distributed equally regardless of which hive you belong to. On the one hand, you spread any risks of a bad harvest between each other and, above all, it facilitates handling when throwing and the distribution of the honey.

The operating mode of the co-operative hives is natural "normal beekeeping" where the queens are free and the bees are managed with organic methods. Each cooperative hive will also contribute to expanded beekeeping, as each society contributes to a small new society of 5 frames annually which is then allowed to grow strongly.

Honey etc
All co-ownerships include a share of the harvest from a hive. You will get at least one, most likely two types of honey. An early summer honey that is often lighter and smoother in taste and a late summer honey with a more characteristic aroma and taste and usually a darker color. In a very good year, we harvest two or three times.

The yield from a hive can vary between nothing in a bad year and an incredible 80kg in a really good year, but the average is around 30-35kg. Each share corresponds to 1/10 of the harvest from a hive.

Important!

By ordering, the buyer is aware that the harvest may vary!

In cooperative farming, the financial risk is shared jointly between producer and consumer. It is impossible to know in advance the exact size of the harvest as the bees are strongly dependent on the weather. Should it be too cold or too windy, the bees will not fly and if it rains, they need to use the already collected nectar and honey inside the hive until the weather is good enough for them to fly again. Rain and sun affect the plants producing more or fewer flowers and the amount of nectar they can provide.

Do I need to do anything?
The simple answer is: buy your share and collect your harvest. We take care of all the practical work in the apiary with care, honey harvesting, throwing and dropping the honey into jars. When everything is ready, you will be told that you are welcome to stop by the farm and pick up your share!

This is how it works
You buy a share of the harvest from the apiary in advance. The percentage refers to the average yield per hive in the apiary, which increases your chances of getting a honey harvest even if an individual colony wouldn't produce that well during the year. You can collect the honey from us on the farm, where you can also visit the apiary at the same time.

When harvesting during the season, you will receive a notification and can choose for yourself whether you want to collect immediately or wait until the end of the season. Liquid, completely untreated honey can only be collected in connection with the harvest, which means that in that case you need to collect honey several times during the season.

Follow your bees
You can always follow all the work on the farm via Instagram and on Facebook under the name Villa Blomstergren (villablomstergren.se). You will also be invited to this year's closed cooperative beekeeper group on Facebook, where you can buzz about the cooperative beehives in depth together with the other cooperative owners and us who take care of the bees. As a cooperative beekeeper, you also get priority access to next year's shares before they are announced.

ATTENTION! No, collected honey goes to Villa Blomstergren and is then seen as a sponsorship. The last date for collecting honey is December 1 of the current cooperative year.

We have a winter survival guarantee and a guarantee of good spring development!

Winter survival guarantee : If the bee colony to which the share belongs dies during the winter, you will be assigned a new bee colony.

Good spring development guarantee : The bee colony must be in good condition and have good conditions to be productive. The guarantees are valid until May 1. After that, it is up to nature and the bees how things will go. Of course, the guarantee does not apply if there should be a natural disaster or if something unforeseeable unnatural should happen.
