Next Generation Bee Hive
The Apimaye beehive was developed to make it easier to manage a colony of bees and produce more honey.
The innovative all-round double layer insulation helps keeping the colony warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A special filling material used in the top cover and side walls of Thermo Hives provides thermal insulation, offering a suitable habitat for the colony in different climate conditions.
Thermal Insulation & Active Ventilation
With the R value 6.93, Apimaye Thermo Bee Hives are more than 6 times more heat insulating than wooden hives.
The design of the hives allows the incoming air from the screened bottom board, rise all the way through the ventilation ducts, and exit through the louvres on the hive top cover. This enables an effective air circulation in the hive. The ventilation system prevents any rise of humidity in the hive, preventing any yeast or mold formation, increasing the survival of colonies during winter.
Everything in One Package
Apimaye Thermo Hives are designed and include several accessories as standard such as queen excluder, removable bottom tray (Traps Varroa mite and small hive beetle when used with a sticky board), pollen trap, entrance reducer, mouse guard, top feeder, lock and latch handles, plastic frames, division & uniting board to provide all beekeepers needs and requirements.
Family of Beekeepers
Located in sunny Arizona, we are a team of a beekeeper (my dad – a world known professor on honeybees), queen bee (my mom – a retired civil engineer and a beekeeper by marriage) and 2 worker bees (me – an electrical engineer and beekeeper by proxy, and my sister - an administrator) with decades long experience in beekeeping.

Excellent hives! I only have one apimaye as of right now but will definitely be getting more. That hive is the first one every morning up and at it! Excited to see how the bees do in the cold Maine winters in they’re new setup!!
This system is low/no upkeep for the most. Well-built and the modular system works great. The enclosed feeders are a great plus and really it is hard to beat the Apimaye system. Costly compared to traditional???? Sure, but did I mention, no upkeep like wood! The accessories are priced to sell also! Yes, I could have had twice the amount of wood hives to these but I feel like I have the Ferrari of hives.
Bees seem too love the hives,bought 2 packages,and they exploded.great experience.
I really like these. They are very easy to install the foundation in. And easy to clean with a pressure washer when out of use.
I could not be happier with this product. I was pleasantly surprised with the larger new style feeder that came with it.
I did not expect this feeder. The shim was easily removable for my purposes to put a deep on. I do like the option of the shim. I also like the fact that it has the new style entrance on it. This allows me on it. I have replaced my entrance's on all my other Apimayes with this new style entrance. Because this allows me to leave my pollen catchers in full time by just changing the entrance opening. One way forces the bees to use the pollen feeder the other allows them to avoid it and I never have to take it out.
I will be buying these going forward.
After I started beekeeping, my wife purchased a Apimaye hive for me for Christmas. My mentor for beekeeping rolled his eyes thinking that it was a waste of money. It ended up saving money by not having any winter losses. Plus my colonies are raring to go when the season starts. They are producing honey very early. Since then I use my wood hives as stands for my Apimaye hives. Only under duress would I put bees in a wooden hive again. He doesn't seem to worry about losing bees in the winter because he'll just buy more packages of bees, this isn't fair to the bees. I started beekeeping to get more bees in my area because I noticed a decline. Now my garden is thriving and my honey sales are supporting my supplies. I'm at the point where the hives paid for themselves. I also leave a good supply of honey for the bees in the winter, with these hives they don't seem to consume much because it keeps them at a better temperature. Keep up the good work!
Great hive, so easy to set the frames up and pop right on top of my existing nucleus hive for a snug fit. Looks great, easy to work with, great entrance and ventilation features, and the bees love it!! Thanks Apimaye, I will be coming back for more.
After I added some APIMAYE beehive products to some of my hives the bees stopped trying to cool the hive
Core frames don't give hive beetles any place to hide. Good product.
This feeder is perfect. No trying to remember which way the tabs need to go and you don’t disturb the bees at all when feeding.
