Insurance solutions for the Apiculture Industry

BEECovered is an insurance package specifically created for the Apiculture Industry and designed to protect New Zealand’s Apiarists and their bees. Our team of expert brokers have extensive industry knowledge and have managed the insurance needs of New Zealand apiaries of all sizes, for many years.

BEECovered has been developed so that it can efficiently meet the requirements of both small and large apiaries, and our brokers work closely with our clients from the outset to shape an insurance solution that is most appropriate for individual needs.

Just like being an apiarist requires experience and knowledge to make sure that the bees are buzzing and the hives are honey-rich, so does navigating the insurance industry. We've removed the guess work for our clients, and with offices spanning the country we can also offer local service.
