About us

Welcome to Hyde Hives, the home of  beekeeping and hive-making. I am Dean Shepherd, and my passion for bees and carpentry led me to create the perfect beehive.

I am a master carpenter and beekeeper, faced the common struggles of beekeeping such as poor quality materials, heavy lifting, and lack of educational resources. So, I combined my expertise in carpentry and beekeeping to craft a single unit beehive that is easy to use and accessible to everyone.

 My hives are designed to resemble the natural nesting sites of honeybees, creating a balanced environment that allows them to thrive. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy of beekeeping, regardless of physical challenges.

Visit my workshop, give me a call, or drop me a message on Facebook to find out more about my easy-to-use beehives and how they can help you enjoy a stress-free beekeeping experience.
