Sponsor a Hive
The Bee Conservatory, a Sacramento nonprofit, offers hive sponsorship: a donation that helps cover care for the colonies we look after, including inspections, mite monitoring, and equipment.
Suggested gift: $100. It helps cover a month of hive care.
A receipt from Zeffy
Your gift goes through the same Zeffy form as any donation, and Zeffy emails your receipt. Zeffy charges us no platform or card-processing fees. At checkout Zeffy asks you for an optional tip to Zeffy itself, which you can set to $0. It does not reduce your gift to us.
What is available today?
Contact us to ask what's available today, including any updates or visits, before you decide. We would rather tell you up front than promise something we can't deliver.

What does a hive sponsorship pay for?
Helps cover inspections, mite monitoring, and equipment for the colonies we have relocated. A sponsorship is a donation. It does not buy a particular hive or colony.
What will I get?
A receipt from Zeffy by email for your gift. If you want to know what is happening with the colonies right now, contact us and ask.
Can I give monthly?
Yes, choose a recurring option in the donation form. You can change or cancel a recurring gift through the link in your Zeffy receipt.
Is my sponsorship tax-deductible?
We describe ourselves as a 501(c)(3) public charity, and our EIN is 93-1556974. Our EIN did not appear in the IRS public listing when we last checked on 2026-10-16, so please ask us for our determination letter and talk to your tax adviser before claiming a deduction.
