I am purchasing from Apimaye again. I have 5 hives with supers and frames, all Apimaye. I appreciate the longevity and ease of parts that fit and last with minimal upkeep.

I started with the seven frame nuc hives, which have been amazing. This past year I wanted to compare a 10 frame propola hybrid hive vs an apimaye ergo hive. Granted not the same bees (golden west in ergo, caucasions in the propola). Both are still alive and well so far but thanks to broodminder sensors I can tell the ergo hive is doing much better due to a steady temperature reading. This is with a double deep set up with the vent on the upper box open. The propola hybrid hive on the other hand for sure has a much smaller cluster and temperature variance is extremely high. My goal is to add at least 2-3 more ergo hives to my apiary this coming season.

Once you begin using these hives you’ll never go back to woodware. Well constructed. Easy timesaver design. Outstanding value.

Theseboxes have allowed a 72 year old beekeeper to continue keeping Bees! the weight is so much easier to handle, and the handles have allowed for greater ease in moving heavier honey laden boxes.

I was quite skeptical of the whole “keeping your bees in something outside of wood”, vibe going around but, too be fair, I thought why not see what it is about and give it a try. Anyway, my expectations were blown away. This beastly piece is Ft. Knox sturdy, comes with so many options and configurations, comes assembled, the possibilities are limitless. In these times of varroa with boots on ground, pesticide usage and loss of forage, and that gnawing feeling of an existential crisis on the horizon, Apimaye has brought a fresh breath of excitement for this mediocre beekeeper’s journey! Can’t thank you guys enough!!!
