Urban Beekeeping Retailers

Bee Thinking is the Go-To Place for Honey-Making

— January 5, 2012 — Eco
Urban beekeeping has been on the rise over the last few years, with this growth spawning a number of establishments centered on urban beekeeping products and services such as Bee Thinking in Portland, Oregon.

Bee Thinking is a retail store that offers special honey-making products and services to urban beekeepers. According to its website, Bee Thinking is "the world's first beekeeping supplier specializing in foundationless top bar hives and Warre hives," which are made using environmentally friendly processes. What's more, as PSFK points out, these hives require minimal space so they're ideal for city-dwelling beekeepers.

In addition to clothing, accessories and materials for beekeeping, Bee Thinking provides a variety of beekeeping services, including classes and one-on-one training on beekeeping. Public speaking presentations are also available, as are swarm removal and colony removal services.

3. Beekeeping Education and Training - There is a growing demand for education and training in beekeeping for those who are inexperienced but interested in the activity, and businesses can take advantage of this by offering classes and services.
Industry Implications
1. Retail - Retailers can specialize in products for urban beekeepers, providing them with the supplies and resources they need to maintain their hives in an urban environment.
2. Education - Educational institutions and training centers can offer classes and workshops to teach interested beginners the basics of beekeeping and how to get started.
