Rulison Honey Farms offers hive rentals for pollination services in the month of May for orchards and farms in the Mohawk and Hudson Valleys; hives are delivered upon request as soon as blossoms emerge and remain on site for several weeks until the pollination period is completed. We then come pick our hives up and bring them back to their respective yards so the bees can get busy making honey!
