Frequently Asked Questions

Can Treehouse Urban Farm help me figure out where to place a beehive in my Kansas City backyard?
Yes, their landscape and farm expertise makes hive siting a natural part of what they do. They'll look at sun exposure, proximity to water, neighbor considerations, and existing plantings to recommend the best spot on your property.
What kinds of plants do you recommend for supporting bees in Missouri's climate?
Missouri's growing season allows for a wide range of bee-friendly plants, from native clovers and black-eyed Susans to lavender and linden trees. The goal is staggering bloom times so your bees have forage from April through October.
Do I need a permit to keep bees in Kansas City?
Kansas City, Missouri does allow urban beekeeping, but there are local ordinances covering hive placement, setbacks from property lines, and registration in some cases. It's worth checking with KCMO's city planning office or a local beekeeping club before you get started.
Can you design a landscape that works for both vegetable gardening and beekeeping?
Absolutely, that's one of the more common requests they work with. A well-designed layout can place hives to maximize crop pollination while keeping flight paths away from high-traffic areas of the yard.
Is spring the best time to start a new hive in Kansas City?
Spring is generally ideal, typically between April and early May in Missouri, when temperatures are stable and early forage is available. Starting then gives a new colony enough time to build up stores before winter.
Do they sell starter plants for someone setting up a pollinator garden from scratch?
Their nursery side carries a range of native and adapted plants suited to Missouri conditions. They can put together selections based on your space size, soil type, and how much sun your yard gets.
