Why this works
Lets look at the numbers
ECO Beehives are a low-maintenance, install-and-forget solution designed to support Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) under Defra Metric 4.0. Each solid 26 kg hive provides a safe nesting cavity for honeybees—filling a critical gap in newly created habitats that often lack natural hollow trees. Built to last 30 years, ECO Beehives help ensure your BNG habitats reach and maintain their target condition, while optional GSM monitoring captures occupancy and hive weight, giving you real, reportable data on local pollinator activity and added biodiversity. Install once and either let nature take its course, or track your site’s ecological performance over the statutory 30-year BNG period.
Cost
Install & forget
£1k for 5 hives
One-off cost: £200.00 hive/ per acre
You can have as many or as few hives as you like — we recommend one per acre (or one per hectare) for the best results.
When you host our hives, you’re supporting pollinators and local biodiversity, and you’ll gain access to:
- Our collective pollinator database — track what’s happening with bees and other pollinators throughout the season.
- Optional add-ons, including:
- 🍯 Honey collection – one visit per year to harvest honey.
- 🐝 Staff training – hands-on sessions with your bees to learn about beekeeping and pollination.
- 🌿 Reception or foyer display – showcase your environmental commitment with a meet-and-greet display about your bee project.
- 📹 Remote video monitoring – watch live footage or updates from your hives.
- 🍯 Honey collection – one visit per year to harvest honey.
(Note : These are sold as 5 or more at a time)
BNG specific
Enhance Biodiversity Net Gain with ECO Beehives
How It Works – A Practical Example
Take a newly created 2-hectare meadow designed for BNG. The target habitat condition is “Good”, with a planned 2.4 habitat units and a minimum statutory requirement of 2.2 units (10% BNG).
Without nesting features, natural pollinator establishment is slow, creating a delivery risk of around 10%, which would reduce expected units to 2.16—below the required target.
By installing 5–6 ECO Beehives (≈3 per hectare), that risk is reduced to around 2%, meaning your site is much more likely to achieve its full 2.4 units. Each hive weighs 26 kg empty, lasts 30 years, and optional GSM monitoring provides real-time occupancy and hive weight data, allowing you to track pollinator activity and quantify added biodiversity. In practical terms, this ensures your BNG habitat performs as intended, while giving measurable ESG outcomes for reporting and sustainability initiatives.
Here’s how ECO Beehives improve BNG outcomes in practice:

Metric Without Hives With ECO Beehives
Baseline Habitat Units 2.4 units 2.4 units
Delivery Risk Adjustment−10% −2%
Risk-Adjusted Units 2.16 units 2.35 units
Meets 10% BNG Requirement?❌ No ✅ Yes
Optional Biodiversity Data–✅ Occupancy & weight tracked (26 kg baseline; +10–20 kg seasonal growth)
Expected Hive Lifespan–30 years (install and forget)
How to Read This:
- Baseline units = planned habitat condition.
- Risk adjustment reflects the real-world likelihood of habitat underperforming without pollinator support.
- Risk-adjusted units = expected delivered units.
- With ECO Beehives, the risk is dramatically reduced, securing the BNG target.
- Optional data shows real-time ecological performance and added biodiversity.

ECO Beehives provide a tangible, reportable ESG outcome by supporting pollinator populations and enhancing biodiversity across BNG sites. Each hive is a low-maintenance, 30-year solution, creating nesting habitat where natural hollow trees are absent and reducing the risk of underperforming habitat units. With optional GSM monitoring, you can track occupancy and hive weight—a measurable indicator of local pollinator activity and ecological productivity.
Example Calculation for ESG Reporting (2-hectare meadow):
- Baseline Habitat Units: 2.4 units
- Risk-adjusted Units without hives: 2.4 × 0.90 = 2.16 units → below statutory BNG target
- Secured Units with 5–6 ECO Beehives: 2.4 × 0.98 = 2.35 units → safely above target
- Biodiversity Data: Each hive starts at 26 kg empty; seasonal weight gain (+10–20 kg) demonstrates active pollinator presence and ecological contribution
This approach allows companies to quantify and report real ecological impact, linking habitat performance, biodiversity gains, and ESG commitments in a single, auditable framework.
In conclusion This project is proving to be beneficial to all participants in so many ways. Your valued support is critical to the success, providing evidence-based data for all. There is no doubt this project is invaluable and making so many companies great in the eyes of their staff and cu

Realising conventional beekeeping and the honeybee husbandry is frowned on by many sectors of the population, in part vegans.
BUT, honey bees still need our help, so how can we help honeybees without offending a very large part of the population including many of your employees?
But many companies do more.
That is where I can help you attain green biodiversity targets.
We are focused on honeybees, as a company. But we are also focused on honey bees and the pollinators they affect.
So to get rite into it.
Honey bees are the dominant pollinator in any environment. and if kept in an apery system they will push out other species of pollinators.
If you are considering having a beekeeper and beehives on site evidence that is now showing that beekeeping is actually bad, not only for honeybees but the environment they cover and beyond.
We advocate the ECO-BEEHIVE system of hosting not keeping honey bees.
