I have children and/or pets, is it safe?

Yes! As long as good beekeeping practices are followed, it is perfectly safe to host a hive with children and pets. Hive placement is an important factor — we won’t put it directly next to a dog kennel or children’s play structures. During installation, we’ll show everyone how to move safely around bees. Generally, bees only sting in self-defense, so bee kind and you’ll be just fine.
