HiveLink community care
Practical help. Respectful hives.
HiveLink is here for careful learning, neighborly support, and trustworthy work opportunities. These short guidelines help protect members, bees, and local communities.
Moderation is a safety practice.
Requests and opportunities are reviewed before public sharing. Review is not an endorsement or professional inspection.
Share with care
Offer your lived experience without presenting it as veterinary, legal, pesticide, or emergency advice. Encourage members to consult local extension resources and qualified professionals when needed.
Protect people and apiaries
Do not post precise home or apiary addresses, private contact details, photos of others without permission, or information that puts colonies at risk. Use general regions until a trusted follow-up is arranged.
Keep opportunities honest
Describe work, compensation, timing, and expectations plainly. No scams, misleading sales claims, harassment, discrimination, or pressure to move conversations off-platform before trust is established.
Transfer hive records privately
A Hive Records transfer is a private history handoff, not a sale, payment, or public listing. The current owner can send a request to a signed-in member, but inspections, private photos, notes, and location metadata move only after that member explicitly accepts.
What moderation means
Partner Editors and the owner may request clarification, decline, close, or remove material that does not fit these guidelines. They can moderate community content and submissions, but do not receive owner-only billing, pricing, payout, role, secret, or deployment controls.
