Our Products: What You Need for Your Hive

The following are the major components of bee hive. We offer all of these, either on their own or in a kit:

Beehive Box

This is the central home for your bees. It contains everything and is where honey is stored and baby bees are raised. We have various sizes for all beekeeping types.

Beekeeping Frames

Frames contain the bee foundation. The foundation provides bees with a pattern that they use to construct their honeycomb. We have frames for every type of hive.

Bee Foundation

This is a plastic or wax sheet with a pattern that directs the bees. It makes the hive neat and clean.

Hive Covers (Inner and Outer)

Covers shield your hive from the weather, such as wind and rain. Inner covers assist in air circulation, and outer covers provide additional protection.

Ross Round Rings

These assist you in harvesting honey carefully. You can harvest honey without interrupting the bees.

Beginner Hive Kit

Ideal for beginners. It includes the hive box, frames, and foundation together in one kit.

Nucleus Hive (Nuc Box)

A mini hive you can use to establish a new colony of bees or divide your current hive. It's highly useful for beginners and those expanding their apiaries.

Frame Spacers

These maintain the frames evenly spaced apart. Even space facilitates bees to build a comb and store honey more efficiently.

Entrance Reducer Frame

It regulates the size of the hive entrance. This prevents cold drafts and keeps unwanted pests out.

Pollen Trap

Allows you to harvest pollen without disrupting the bees too greatly. Pollen is healthy for bees and promotes well-being.

You can buy these hive pieces separately or as a whole bee hive starter kit. That way, you can start from scratch or replace only what you need to.

Materials: Wood, Polystrene, and Plastic

We provide three materials for your hive components. Each is good in its own way:

  • Wooden Hive Pieces: Classic and organic. Wood warms the hive.
  • Polystrene Hive Pieces: Light and insulated. Easy to transport and look after.
  • Plastic Hive Pieces: Extremely long-lasting and easy to clean.

Choose the material that suits your taste and your bees' requirements.

Easy to Assemble: Unassembled Kits

Many bee hive kits are hard to assemble or come pre-built, which can be big and expensive to ship. Most of our kits come unassembled. This means you get parts to build the hive yourself. It’s easy, and we give clear steps to help, even if you have never done it before.

You have the opportunity to assemble the hive in whatever configuration you prefer. This also gets shipped to you at a lower cost and with more speed.
