There is currently a 4 week turn around on our hives

Horizontal Hive Specialists

We are two brothers that 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. 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.
