Custom Built Beehives
We can custom build your beehive needs for less than the shoddy Chinese stuff you see on Amazon and have it up and running in days. We build to order in most cases, but also have a few hives on hand if you can't wait. Contact us for availability.
Whether it’s a full hive, just a couple deeps or even a brand new top bar hive we can help you save money. Need a new interior cover? Is your landing board rotting out? Maybe it’s a few nucs to support your bee yard. We can do that.
Pick-up preferred, but will deliver locally for free or within 50 miles for an additional $50 fee.
