Hive13 is excited to announce that we are expanding our membership structure to include the newest tier of membership, apiary members.

Since our space began in 2009, we felt like our student, standard, and cornerstone memberships were able to cover the populations that would be in the space. It was brought to our attention last night via prophetic dream that we were missing a very small-in-size demographic that we could welcome into our space. After an emergency board meeting, the apiary membership was born!

What is an apiary membership?

An apiary membership is $2,000 a month through Paypal and has all the same rights/responsibilities as other membership tiers but allows for one indoor beehive! Beehives will be evenly spaced throughout Hive13 as to best encourage cross-pollination of wards. Apiary members will be expected to manage their hive accordingly, making sure each bee is certified before using certification-only equipment, that the bees are cleaning up after themselves, and that the bees put the toilet seat down and wash their (many) hands after using the bathroom.

"Y'know, I never thought that leadership would be so excited about apiary memberships but I feel so supported in the space," said newest apiary member, Michael with a B, "Having thousands of bees with me at all times to help carry things, give insight to how to use tools, and to dance with has really improved the community feel."

Many, many members agreed with Michael with a B as we asked him for commentary. Dave Bee chimed in, "Pollinators have a lot of value to our space. They have great horticultural knowledge but also a collaborative mindset."

Adjusting to these thousands of new members in the space has been complex but has built new, hexagonal support structures throughout membership. Barry B. Benson was able to re-run our electrical cables with his buddies and they were simply buzzing with excitement.

"Hive13 really expanded my knowledge, I never thought I would learn electrical skills," Barry remarked as he wiped his proboscis, "My jazz band takes up a lot of my time so it's good to get out of old habits and into some new skills."

If members have questions about this new membership tier and what it entails, we encourage them to reach out via their local meadows and touch some grass.
