Horizontal Hive Specialists

Hyde Hives is a family run business based in the Midlands. We are two brothers who love keeping bees and making hives. Every hive we make is cut from locally sourced English Cedar that is milled and seasoned by us at the workshop using a horizontal bandsaw to cut the individual planks of cedar, each hive is then hand assembled, individually finished and delivered personally by one of us. As bee enthusiasts, bee welfare is our number one priority and we only produce and sell hives that we use ourselves.
