Collaboration of Crown Bees + BEEsharing

Exciting News for Mason Bee Producers! We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between Crown Bees and BeeSharing to transform the world of sustainable hybrid pollination.

Introducing BEEsharing!

An AI-powered app that connects farmers with bee raisers to optimize crop pollination. This innovative platform provides precise recommendations on the number and type of pollinators (honey, bumble, or Mason bees), along with detailed guidance on the best placement and timing for bee releases.

By utilizing a diverse array of bee species, farmers can ensure robust pollination security for their crops. This approach not only minimizes bee losses but also reduces overall pollination costs.

How BEEsharing Will Work

To get involved with the BEEsharing.io app, the minimum number of Mason bee cocoons required is 10,000. We understand that this requirement might be challenging for most backyard Mason bee raisers.

What This Means for Mason Bee Raisers:

Increased Market Demand: As hybrid pollination gains popularity, the need for Mason bee cocoons will soar, opening up new opportunities for bee raisers.

Sustainable Growth: This shift not only supports sustainable farming practices but also promotes the conservation of Mason bees.

Profitability: With higher demand comes potential for profitability, making it an exciting time for those raising Mason bees.

Where Crown Bees Will Support

BEEsharing with Crown Bees: We will aggregate cocoons from our Bee Buy Back Mason bee producers in lots of 10,000 for BeeSharing market entry.

BEEsharing on Your Own: Serious producers, either individually or with the help of friends and family, can aggregate their own lot of 10,000 or more cocoons.

Future Potential: We aim to support future professional bee producers in providing millions of cocoons to this program. Currently, market rates for cocoons might be around $0.30 each. With increased demand in the future, who knows what the market rate could be?

What Crown Bees is Doing Today

We’re going to participate in the BEEsharing program with a portion of cocoons from our Bee Buy Back Program. We’ll be collaborating with BEEsharing to test the logistics and provide lessons learned. We hope spring 2025 will be successful and we will report back to our bee producing teammates.

Let's make this journey together and see how we can create a more sustainable future for agriculture and our environment!
