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
Every Apimaye Ergo hive set comes with a screened bottom board with a built-in adjustable entrance reducer and mouse guard, plus a pollen trap and IPM tray to help with Varroa mites and small hive beetles. You also get a top feeder, queen excluder, division/uniting board, frame spacers, and stainless steel latches and handles. Frames are sold separately, so you can reuse your own or add wood, PRO or Core frames when you order.

Let customers speak for us
I love that they can reverse the entrances , makes split hives a-lot easier!
This makes tending the hives, feeding and most importantly easy winter feeding without disturbing them.
This piece of metal is worth every penny. No more melting the hive. Plus will hold my fogger while it dispenses, so I can step back out of potential OA fumes. A must have item!
well built and worth the price
Love them super easy to set up we started late in the season and I am pretty sure we will fill half the jars. The bees like them as well.
This feeder is the best one yet no dead bees
Works great easy snap open insert and close
The insulated 7 frame hive seems solid. I like all of the options available for bee entrances. I particularly like the hive top feeder. I have not used the division board yet but I can see its benefits for next spring when I make splits. The final verdict won’t be out until next Spring. Let’s see how it compares to traditional wood boxes…
Love the quality of the product
Great hive!!! Has a ton of options that other hive don’t have. I am super happy with this purchase!!!
We are new to beekeeping but so far we are learning about the apimaye and love that it is well built and we are feeding 1:1 sugar water in the upper feed tray! So far so good!
I don't normally leave reviews but here at Patriot Pollen we have switched to all Apimaye hives and it's amazing! No more rotten, cracked, damaged wood. Easy to pick up and transport hives, we aren't wondering were they entrance reducer went. Bees love the hives and thrive faster than they did in the wooden ones. Winters in the North East have less loss. Wouldn't use anything else!
A great product and Fantastic support staff
I had one of these feeders that came with the upgrade kit for wooden hives. I liked it so much I bought 3 more feeders. I do put a small piece of sponge as I was having an issue with some bees drowning on my first feeder. Customer service gave excellent advice.
Excellent product it worked out perfect for my application
