I started out with 10 Apimaye hives this year. Liked them so much that I ordered another 12. They come with everything we as beekeepers need. Extremely well built and easy to use. Love the fact that I can feed the bees without making them mad. Only thing I would like to see is a robbing screen that we can purchase. I understand that we can close the hives off too a one hole opening but where we live the robber bees are relentless and can over power a strong hive.

These hives are bulletproof, easy to use, and my bees are very healthy and happy in them. Customer service is outstanding. Using the feeders is easy and not messy at all. The bees don't have to work as hard to maintain the perfect environment. The bottom board is brilliant. Best thing is ability to seal up the hive to move. It is so well made and solid. I am so happy to leave the cumbersome wooden hives behind.

This feeder is quite versatile for feeding liquid and solid feed. I like how I can add a piece of pollen patty in the middle by just flipping the insert over the patty.

Everything seams to be in great quality and can’t wait to put new super on my hive

I have 24 of the 7 frame Apimaye hives and they are a great asset in my apiary. I use them for splits, mating nucs and overwintering nucs.

Very impressed with this hive plus all the extras! I plan to buy a super when I save a little more money. Very pleased with this purchase.

I like the seven framer as it allows you to do several things with one box of course you can have a regular nuke you can split it into 23 framer Nucs for a meeting. You can separate the queen onto one side on a frame for grafting and isolate her there. It also makes a great Queen bank with room to put an inside feeder if you don’t wish to use the top feeders for transporting and a frame to put your cells or Queen cages on all in all very happy with this piece of equipment.

Best ever bottom

Last year, we decided to start beekeeping with just one hive (I know, I know) to decide if it was really something we wanted to commit to. We felt we had to give our bees the best possible chance and after much research, we chose Apimaye. So glad we did! Texas heat, sun, cold snaps, hail, severe thunderstorms, crazy winds - all good with this hive. I will admit during a cold spell I went out to listen for activity within the hive and heard nothing. I was very upset assuming they were gone. But a few days later when it warmed up, they were quite busy cleaning out the hive and doing their thing. We are expanding and ordering more.

I have a small bee operation in NE Tennessee and I only use Apimaye hives. when they came out with this bottom board system for the double deep boxes I was so happy, one thing that I do is modify the entrance mouse guard. I cut out the mouse guards on one side. this allows the bees if there is a build up of dead bees to get them out of the hive where as with the mouse guard all across they can build up and then there are more problems once I made this modification I marked the side with S and F for summer and fall and have had no problems since with the removal of dead bees by the undertakers. I keep the smooth side open most and if there is robbing or other issues where I need to provide more protection I simply use the mouse guard side. Thank you Apimaye for making the absolute best bee hive on the market. If you use this product improvement idea please send me a cool tee-shirt :)

I haven't bought into the hive itself, just some scale of where I hope to be and cost. However, I wanted to collect pollen for my local market. I bought an expensive "top of the line" pollen trap last year and just had no luck with it. Nobody really recommended the cheap plastic ones for the front, so I just had to try these. Man I love them. I now have 4 and will do more. Picture below was 1 hive, 1 day early March. so easy. This was very well designed and thought out.

Just received our first hive from Apimaye - ergo. Product shipped exactly as described and am extremely excited to see how it performs this summer and through the winter. Our temperatures get above 100 degrees Fahrenheit in summer and into the teens in winter.

What a world of difference it is to manage two hives with this well designed "system". My inspection time is cut in half and less intrusive to hive. Frames are easier to pull for inspection, boxes are securely interlocked, and top feeder is so so much easier than pulling off the inner covers to fill the readers with food and drink.

Perfect option for the folks that would prefer not to have their lid vented. Super easy to install and I got it right the first time. lol!!

I’m very pleased with the durability and design of the bottom board systems. I am replacing most of the existing boards to this system.
