What beekeeping insurance covers

Beekeeping coverage protects hobby and small-scale beekeepers against liability for stings and damage, and can insure hives and equipment.

Sting injuries - Medical claims, including allergic reactions, from neighbors and visitors.
Swarms - Damage or injury when a swarm leaves your hives.
Products liability - Honey and hive products you sell or give away.
Hives and equipment - Damage to hives, supers and extraction equipment, if added.
Off-site apiaries - Hives kept on someone else's land, with the landowner protected.
Farmers market sales - Coverage while selling at markets and fairs.

Good to know: many apiaries need the landowner named as an additional insured, and farmers markets often require proof of products liability.

Not covered: loss of bees from disease, pesticides or colony collapse, and commercial pollination services unless added.
