The Apimaye hive is the best thing since the Langstroth Hive was developed. It's great quality and I haven't had one bee drown in the feeders. I have been extremely happy with the convenience of having everything in one set up with the ability to move the hives if needed. I have not had to worry about storms blowing off lids ect. There is a lot to say! My only wish is that they would make an option to run all medium frames for us smaller women who really just want to use all medium boxes. It means I would buy more boxes and frames :).
My bees overwintered beautifully in spite of -25F temperatures and strong winds. Sadly a bear decided it wanted a snack in the spring and rolled the hive across the field. Because the whole hive latches together and was built so well, the only damage was to the top cover, where the bear sunk his teeth in trying to get a little snack. Replaced the cover, just like new again. I’ve had bears completely destroy hives in the past. Very pleased with Apimaye hives, and buying more as the budget allows!
This is a very nice toy to add to my toy box. So simple to use. It is basically a glorified set up for queen rearing but I couldn’t resist. I liked hooking the frames together till they were fully drawn which went quickly with Triple waxed Premier foundation cut to fit spaces. You can’t open the frames ….the foundation just fits in the spaces. We used a dab of glue on some. Great way to get them filled….hooking them together like ten frame. I put a package in and removed the queen after I had enough frames with eggs to go around four ways. So I went over to check them out yesterday ….i guess too early because there were queens all over the place. I saw one with a newly mated mark which was pretty cool and another went in the wrong hive and I managed to save her from an angry ball….i think that I was in the way. Very easy if you set it up and stay out of the way. Bee orgy in the garden.
