Our 'adopt a beehive' service destroys the classical model, bordering on greenwashing, by introducing technology and regeneration. A new ecological approach to environmental education and research. The main objective is to study bees through the use of sensors and microphones installed in beehives, enabling us to monitor and better understand their behaviour and communication. Our aim is to train beekeepers to focus on creating biodiversity rather than intensive honey production, turning them into regenerative farmers working to regenerate swamps, fields, soils and deserts. By adopting a technology hive, you not only enter into an environmental research project, but you also actively contribute to bee conservation and the promotion of sustainable agricultural practices. So there is no honey? The bees will always produce it, you won't get many kilos (a few jars at most), but there is a small reward.

To get started with our "adopt a hive" technology service, you can visit our website and follow a wizard that will help you select the most suitable hive. We offer several options that vary in terms of cost and levels of involvement to suit different preferences, experiences and budgets. Once you have chosen your hive, you can proceed with payment and receive further information on the hive you have adopted and its monitoring.

There is no specific time of year when you should adopt a hive, as our service is available all year round. However, adoption could be considered during the spring months, when bee colonies start to grow.

There are different prices, starting from 12 euros. The price difference depends on how many bees you want to pollinate and how much nectar the bees want to pollinate. Honey is an integral part of this price. For 1kg of honey you can spend around 32 euros. Our aim is not to produce honey intensively, so the cost is not of the jar of honey itself. You will certainly be able to find it at dizzyingly low prices in the shops. Many beekeepers often use beekeeping techniques that are harmful to the environment itself, or falsify it, suffice it to say that 50% of imported honey is fake or adulterated. We select growers who take care of the biodiversity surrounding the bees. That is why you will never find us in shops and we hardly ever produce industrial honey.

Adopting a technology hive follows a simple and well-structured process that allows the adopter to get in touch with the world of bees and contribute to environmental research. Here are the main steps: Choice of hive: choose the hive you wish to adopt from the available options. Each technological hive is equipped with sensors and microphones that allow you to monitor and study bees, as well as contribute to environmental research

Registration: Register before you can make your purchase. This creates a personal account that allows you to manage your adoption and receive updates on your hive.

Payment: Once you have chosen your hive, you proceed with the payment of the adoption. Costs vary according to the different options and services included, such as monitoring, maintenance and the amount of hive products that
