I started converting eleven hives to Apimaye from wooden ware in June 2025 and have never regretted it! Everything from superior temperature management whether one is in southern heat or northern cold, to feeding without disturbing bees, and entrance control without adding and removing mouse guards or clunky entrance reducers, these hives are simple and fun! Solid 5-stars! I’d give them 6 stars if there was an “integrated” built-in way to treat with OAV, but that’s easily resolved with numerous work around techniques from which we can pick our favorites. These hives easily pay for themselves not only monetarily, but with the reduced stress that comes from wood box management. Thanks Apimaye!

I love these boxes. I have had great success in our long cold winters so far. I also appreciate the updates that continue to be made like the improved feeders, double slide bee entrance, vent covers and wider variety of cilor options.

The Ergo insulated hive is probably the best beehive on the market. You can tell from the quality and design that someone who knows bees thought it up.

Hi! I am a new beekeeper. Got my first api last year! Assembly to maintenance has been a breeze! I live in a fog belt area and mites and wind are a problem in our neighborhood.

As these boxes are plastic and donot absorb they help stay away from mites a tad better.

Dont have to keep stones to avoid my hive from flying off! Has been a great experience so far! ready to buy my second this season :)

Excellent product. My girls love their home. 😊
