So glad you asked! You get access to our downtown workspace—that includes sitting in any available open space as well as time in our conference room, recording studio, and even the main space for free-to-bees events.

You also get access to any free event hosted by other members in the space.

The biggest value of all (in our opinion) is the network. You'll be plugged into over likeminded local women in business who are potential mentors, collaborators, clients, service providers, and most of all...friends.

If you join as a month-to-month member, that's it. You can cancel at any point. We don't like locking people into things! If you're a private office member, you're committed to a 6 month commitment. You are free to give 30 days notice to cancel at the end of your commitment. We do not give refunds, but you're welcome to cancel at any time and you will not be billed again.

Absolutely! They can even book a private office for a day or a conference room. We encourage you to bring your male clients, co-workers or significant other to The Hive for a meeting, coffee chat, or even lunch. We think of The Hive as a women-focused, inclusive space. That means we’re all about welcoming everyone into our sanctuary. Just one rule here- escort your men after hours and on weekends. We know that sounds a little silly but we never want a woman to enter the space alone and encounter a man she doesn't know. It's a safety thing and we appreciate you respecting that!

We get complements on our coffee all the time! Everyone loves our bean to cup espresso machine that makes French Vanilla Lattes, Cappuccinos, hot chocolate, and more. You get unlimited coffee with your membership and can treat your guests to a cup of Joe too!

Scanning and black and white printing is unlimited for private office members. If you choose to print color, please be conservative.

You are among your people! Did you know that people with ADHD are 3x more likely to start a business? Because we focus on entrepreneurial women, we figure a solid 60% of our members have ADHD. And guess what? They all say they get so much more work done at The Hive. Why? Body doubling, my friend. It's having a friend or partner who works simultaneously in the same room as you, giving you hidden accountability to stay on task.

Our members come from all walks of life, so you would be surprised who you'll find among our bees. Our membership ranges from 18 all the way to 70+. We have plenty of introverts and extroverts. Some have been in business for decades and others don't know the first thing about starting a business (that's partly why they're here)! Besides, it's not about fitting in and being the same as everyone else...it's about finding a place where you can be yourself and BELONG!

You can pop into one of our conference rooms or meeting rooms for a little more privacy. We do discourage members from taking zoom calls or phone calls in the main space, so as not to disturb those coworking, but there are plenty of nooks and crannies to hide out in and take a call!

Yes, we have several meeting rooms available, accommodating anywhere from 2-8 people, that can be rented by the half or full day for client meetings, workshops, and conference calls.

We're located in the Orpheum building at 200 N. Broadway Ave. Ste. 110. You can park in the lot behind the building, in a spot marked "Hive" or "visitor" or even across the street or on 1st street in 2 hour parking. Once you join officially, you'll receive log in instructions for an app on your phone that you can use for keyless entry to our front door. (We keep it locked on the outside for safety, so that only members and guests can enter.)

Yes! We're an ideal venue space for small events like a baby shower, bridal shower, birthday party, pop up shop, workshop, conference, holiday party, and more. Non-members can pay by the hour. Members can host unlimited events for free as long as they're free and open to other bees! Book your event here.

Totally get it. We have private office for a day passes for $50. You can grab one here: https://thehivewichita.com/private-office-day Let us know at the end of your day, if you're ready to join and we'll apply the $50 to your membership. But remember, buy 4 of these in a month and you've already paid more than a whole month of membership (without any of the perks)!

The Hive is a professional workspace and not suitable for children. Children under the age of 13 should not be brought into the space except in the case of an emergency or quick errand. Please ask your guests to arrange for childcare prior to visiting. If your guest does bring a child, we aren't going to disrupt your business by turning them away, but the child must stay with you in one of the private meeting rooms. Children must not be left unattended and must be escorted quietly to and from the restroom or kitchen. If a child is disruptive to the work environment, we may ask them and their caregiver to leave.

Animals, with the exception of service animals, are not allowed in The Hive. Per ADA, emotional support animals are not considered to be service animals. If you bring an animal into The Hive, our staff may ask two questions: (1) is this a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the animal been trained to perform? We may ask service animals to leave if (1) the animal is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it or (2) the animal is not housebroken.

Yes! If you are a private office member, you can use our address as your business address everywhere except Google. We check the mail once every 24 hours and will put your mail in your mailbox. We do not notify members when they receive mail or accept packages that aren’t left in our main mailbox. If you need to have a package delivered to The Hive, you must arrange to be present to receive it. We don’t recommend having FedEx and UPS mail/packages delivered to The Hive since we can’t guarantee someone will be available to open the door.

Absolutely! We have 13 fully private offices ranging in price from $400-1,000/mo. We offer 6 month membership agreements that include all utilities (even fiber wifi). You can furnish and decorate your office however you like. Your guests can enter through the doors of the main Orpheum office building lobby (through the double doors) for an iconic impression. Members meet their own guests at the door, so we recommend leaving a 15 min. window between appointments. We can’t guarantee a "library" quiet environment since we are a collaborative environment that hosts events and our offices are not completely soundproof. Therefore, we are not a good fit for businesses like massage therapists, yoga instructors, businesses that serve children under the age of 13, or those that need complete confidentiality like therapists, lawyers, medical professionals, financial service providers, etc.

You can store your lunch, refreshments, snacks, and condiments in our fridge with your name on them. Items that are not labeled, are expired, or smell icky will be thrown out on Fridays. Since we are a collaborate workspace, we can't guarantee the safety of your items or that your tupperware will find its way back to you. If you need to leave other personal items, like a laptop, products for your business, or anything else, we recommend getting a private office as we do not have a storage option at The Hive.
