# Building Your Own Hive

Any user can create a Hive on ApiaryFi, instantly becoming the Queen Bee of their specific strategy. To do so they will need to follow these steps:

1. **Choose a name for your Hive**
2. **Select a Token Symbol and Image for your Hive**

Choose carefully, once you've sent your Hive live there's no going back on these choices!

3. **Describe your Hive:**&#x20;

How are you planning on directing your Voting Power within the Beradrome Ecosystem. Are you going to be a profit maxi? Are you going to be aiming for specific bribes? This section is the place to let your potential Worker Bees and Beras know.

4. **Pick your rewards token:**&#x20;

In what token will your Hive rewards be paid out? Rewards tokens can be any ERC20 token, so its time for Queen Bees to get inventive and use whatever token they think will work best. Any rewards the Hive receives from their voting on Beradrome will be converted into the rewards token and distributed to Beras who have participated in the Hive.

Are you going to use your rewards token to add buying pressure to a token like YEET? Or are you going to opt for the more stable option like a HONEY payout?&#x20;

5. **Stick your Hive on-chain!**

Once you've followed these steps you're all ready to send your Hive live! The only thing left to do after you've done so is to deposit some oBERO to get the rewards flowing.
