Ergo PLUS White Single Brood Box Beehive Set
Our Single Brood Box Beehive set is the base for all the Ergo PLUS hives we offer at Apimaye. All our 10 frame hives are shipped as single box hive (this hive). This means they have all the features, including the insulation, screen bottom board with pollen trap, queen excluder, top feeders, and 2 division boards.
Ideal For:
New beekeepers who start beekeeping by buying package bees or nucs (Short for nucleus colonies). Bees will build the combs and fill it up with honey and brood in about 2-3 weeks. Keep in mind that it is difficult to maintain the colony in a single box hive. The colony will swarm when it get strong and congested. Therefore you need to either divide the colony to prevent swarming or need to buy supers of your choice.
Product Notes
- Superior summer performance in extreme summer heat since white is the most reflecting color.
- The price will change as the frame and foundation options are chosen.
- If you'd like to know more about our different frame options, you can read our blog post here, and decide which option is the best for you.
- Entrance color choices are purely for aesthetics, but if you have a large apiary with Apimaye hives, we'd suggest you mix and match the entrance colors to make it easier for the bees :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Had a bear come through my property and knock over my beehive. The beehive is still intact with no damage just mud from his paws. My bee colony survived and is doing well! Thank you so much apimaye for making high quality products! Beehive-1 Bear-0
The Best
The Ergo Plus Single Brood Box is extremely well-made; it feels like it will last for years if not decades. Its design is well thought-through, and it comes with everything you might need - feeders, queen excluder, pollen trap, entrance reducer. Customer support is excellent. I await full proof of the hive's insulating qualities through a New England winter, but already in mid-September here in Massachusetts, I've noticed that while the queens in my wooden hives have stopped laying, there yet are eggs in the Apimaye hives. The up-front cost gave me reason for pause, but I suspect I will be grateful for the quality long after I've forgotten the price. And - if my bees make it through the winter, and I don't need to "re-bee" in the spring - my hunch is that these hives will have paid for themselves in just a few seasons. These hives are a pleasure to use. I am super-happy with the purchase.
Hello, this is the 8th Apimaye box I ordered and this time I went with the core frames with inserts for the brood and medium super. I really like these frames and think they are far better than the pro frames I previously purchased with my other hives. Although when it comes to using the dividers the core frames aren’t as user friendly. The ergo is a great purchase and I absolutely think beekeeping in the Apimaye is far superior than wooden or flow hives. I stand by their products and look forward to expanding next year.
I know our bees are safer and more protected in our apimaye hives! We made, temperature guarded and easy to use. I can not say enough positive things regarding our apimaye hives! Seriously the best way to keep bees.
