“Lift your eyes from that screen and open them to the incredible world of honeybees.”
Open Hive is a unique non-profit charity based in Havant, Hampshire, passionately dedicated to educating children, adults, aspiring beekeepers, and disadvantaged individuals about the importance of our pollinators.
The gentle presence of our honeybees promotes mindfulness and peace, while the responsibility of caring for them installs a sense of purpose and achievement.
We promote a 'back to nature' escape, rediscovering the wonder and fascination of the living world around us. We reconnect individuals via the incredible and humble Honeybee.
THANK YOU TO OUR SUPPORTERS
At Open Hive we are dedicated to using our honeybees to support well-being and address mental health challenges. Our engaging experiences aim to reconnect individuals with nature and help them rediscover a world that is slowly being forgotten amid the stress and distractions of everyday life.

Partnering with local pre-schools, we provide engaging educational experiences for mini-beekeepers through dress-up, dance, and play. Our hands-on activities support young learners by encouraging creativity, confidence, and social skills. We create a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and grow together.
“The bee is little among such a fly; but her fruit is the chief of sweet things.” - Sirach 11:3 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄
