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.
Testimonials
Let customers speak for us
Love Apimaye boxes because of their exceptional design, construction and insulation. If hive pests are controlled effectively, hive health is routinely better in our Apimayes than wooden boxes.
Great Customer service is an indicator of the quality of a Company and Apimaye is first in my book. I recently had an order of multiple up grade kits come in and unfortunately during shipping one of the feeder top covers was damaged. I reach out to Apimaye and within a few days I had a replacement. No hassle. I recommend Apimaye and plan on purchasing more equipment in the future.
I love the combination of the Apimaye bottom board with my 10-frame Langstroth deeps. The bottom board tray is easy to pull out for inspections and clean, and the included pollen trap allows me to harvest pollen in the Spring with very little effort and without disturbing the bees. The Apimaye lock that attaches to the front of the hive allows me to lift up the landing board and close it up with ease (and confidence), should I need the bees to stay inside. The slides at the entrance also mean I can select how open, or how closed, to make the access to limit robbing during the Fall, or allow maximum honey-laden foragers in the Spring when they're coming in by the thousands. Love my Apimaye bottom board set-up!
Excellent bottom board, easy to use and durable.
Great device. Reliable performance.very effective, but always operate with silicone protection, so you don’t melt your entrance. Ammo can will store it savely in between treatments and afterwards.
Bought an Apimaye Hive earlier this year and was wondering how I was going to seal the top vents this winter, when this became available.
Super simple to install and while it is not "Airtight", it seals the top vents adequately for me.
Very nice option.
A great addition for the Apimaye hives. We got them installed before winter and now we block wind, rain, and sprinklers. I consider it a must have option.
Compared to the other Uncapping Forks on the market this is quality tool. Made from thicker metal and a great grip.
I’ve had 100’s of wood hives —No more— Apimayes make beekeeping so much easier —solid hives that emulate a tree in the wild -so many amazing features that make things simpler—5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WAY LESS MAINTENANCE THAN WOOD HIVES
Vents are easy to mount and help closing the hive down for winter. Material could have been made thicker however serve the purpose just fine.
This combination bottom board/pollen trap is well constructed, and easy to use.
Another useful feature from Apimaye that makes the vented top cover more versatile. Not a problem to install just align the vent cover in closed position then mark the holes for easier installation.
These latches are easy to install. They provide the same locking system as on the original Apimaye with the same lifting benefits.
