The first tokenized
bee farm on Solana
We're building a 500-hive farm. $NECTAR pays for it,
and the people holding it decide what the treasury does.
Beekeeping is hard to get into
It takes land, money, and a few years before you really know what you're doing. Most people who want a hive never end up with one. We're turning a working apiary into something you can own a piece of, from anywhere.
What the raise actually buys
The farm goes up in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with our R&D apiary in the Fruška Gora national park in Serbia. The hives belong to the DAO outright, and they're insured. Nobody else holds a claim on them.
Every hive reports for itself
Most asset-backed tokens ask you to trust that the asset is really there. A hive just shows you. Weight tells you honey is coming in, temperature tells you the colony is alive. We read the same data to catch problems early and lose fewer colonies, and later it runs the network for beekeepers on our hardware.
What one hive brings in
| Honey (avg 30 kg × $10) | + $300 |
| Bee bread (avg 125 g × $1) | + $125 |
| Pollen · Propolis · Wax | + $30 |
| Bee products / hive / year | $455 |
That's an average year with the standard products only. Swarms and queens come on top of it, and bee venom lifts each hive by about 40% ($455 → $636).
A 500-hive farm, up to 59% margin
| Bee products (500 × $455) | + $227,500 |
| Swarm sales (natural swarming) | + $16,875 |
| Queen surplus (after internal use) | + $5,250 |
| Operations (insurance · maintenance · transport) | − $30,000 |
| Core team salaries | − $72,000 |
| EBITDA / year (average season) | ~$147,600 |
Year one mostly goes on setup, so it roughly breaks even. From year two the treasury has around $147K a year to work with in an average season.
Follow the money, on-chain
Any of these can happen with that money. Holders vote on which one, and when:
We don't control the treasury
Every spend goes through a decision market on-chain. The founders can't move the money on their own.
From today to first harvest
Engineers who keep bees
Two of us, splitting the week between the field and the code. We're building a public dashboard that reports what the farm earns, so you can follow the numbers instead of taking our word for them.
What could go wrong
- Bees depend on the weather. A cold spring or a dry summer means less honey, and less money coming in.
- Year one is for building. We buy the colonies and set up the hardware, and nothing gets harvested until the season opens in May 2027.
- Every number on this page is an estimate from an average season. Some years land under it.
- $NECTAR is an ownership and governance token. It isn't equity, it isn't a security, and it comes with no promise of payouts.
- MetaDAO runs a permissionless launch platform, which means anyone can launch there. Us launching on it is not a partnership, and it doesn't mean MetaDAO has vetted or endorsed HiveBits.

What the farm earns goes to a treasury you help govern.
We'll post the date on X before anywhere else.
