Handshake agreements are risky for everyone involved – make sure to put your agreement in writing! The LeaseHoney Landowner and Beekeeper Lease was written by a lawyer, not a layperson. The lawyer (also a beekeeper) and LeaseHoney worked together to create a lease that covered almost every conceivable situation that may occur while renting or using land for an apiary, including but not limited to:

• Term
• Rent or Value Given (this is what makes a contract a contract)
• Access, Egress & Ingress
• Limitation of Liability
• Damages (in the event of damage to hives by landowner negligence)
• Termination / Move Out
• Exclusivity for the Beekeeper
• Duty to Report a Swarm
• Pesticides & Due Care
• Unforeseeable Frustration (what happens if forage is destroyed by fire, etc)

The lease is delivered as a PDF with instant, one-time download. You can fill in the information in Adobe Acrobat, or print it out and fill it in by hand.
