Our Products

Here’s a look at the key beehive components and kits we offer:

Beehive Box

The beehive box holds everything together. It's where bees store honey and raise their brood. We have different sizes to match all kinds of beekeeping needs.

Beekeeping Frames

Beekeeping frames are used to hold the bee foundation, which helps the bees build their honeycomb. We offer a variety of frames that fit different hive sizes.

Bee Foundation

Bee foundation is a sheet (either wax or plastic) that gives the bees a pattern to build their comb. This helps keep the hive organized and healthy.

Beekeeping Hive Covers

Beehive covers protect the hive from the weather. We have both inner covers for ventilation and upper covers for added protection.

Ross Round Rings

Ross Round Rings are great for harvesting honey without disturbing the bees too much. They help you collect honey gently while keeping the hive stable.

Beginner Hive Kit

Our bee hive kits for beginners are perfect for people who are just starting out. It comes with everything you need to set up your first hive, including the bee hive box, frames, and foundation.

Nucleus Hive (Nuc Box)

The nucleus hive (or nuc box) is a small hive used to start a new colony or split an existing one. It’s a great option for beginners or for expanding your apiary.

Frame Spacers

Frame spacers make sure the frames are evenly spaced inside the hive. This helps bees build their comb properly and store honey efficiently.

Entrance Reducer Frame

An entrance reducer frame controls the size of the hive entrance. This is useful for reducing drafts in colder months or keeping pests out.
