Recurring backing · billed monthly
Back the apiary every month
One-off sponsorships buy a piece of kit. A monthly subscription is what lets us plan a whole season — ordering timber, wax and feed before we need it rather than when we can afford it.
Every tier below is a Stripe subscription billed monthly, starting from £5. You can cancel at any time from the link on your Stripe receipt, and you get the same stakeholder certificate, Wall of Sponsors listing and field newsletters as a one-off sponsor.
