How to produce your own honey?

The Moving Hive

The Moving Hive initiative started as a green initiative with the French Embassy in 2016 to bring back bees into cities and wilderness. It has quickly expanded to include a select group of people and institutions sharing the same passion for nature, including the Lebanese Presidential Palace, the French ambassador at ¨La Residence des Pins¨, and the Ecole Superieure des Affaires (ESA), as well as several wineries, guest houses and private individuals.

Transparent

From installation to harvest and filling, every step is done at the host’s premises providing full transparency during production. You can participate in every visit or monitor progress through your private online feed.

Customizable

Every location is unique. You will produce your unique honey with your special labels for your home or as a gift for your valued friends and family.

Impactful

Bees are the cornerstone of biodiversity. By hosting a beehive, you contribute to increasing pollination and protecting the local flora. Additionally, you are part of the homegrown movement and reducing food miles and CO2 emissions.
