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 :).
Looks and feels really nice I have not installed bees yet but I’m looking forward to it.
Second year beekeeper. Started last year with 2 nucs and 2 Apimaye hives. Now I’m up to 10 and an Apimaye nuc box. Can’t say enough good things about Apimaye products and customer service. Truly an industry standard.
Like that the hives have everything you need to get started. I especially notice that I have significantly less hive beetles than others in my area which I attribute to the Apimaye design and the ability to put DE in the bottom tray.
My only complaint would have been that the entrance reduces tend to melt when using OA vaporizers if you’re not very careful, but Lorob Bees new adapter made for the hives works great!
Highly recommend
I am currently changing out all my hives to Apimaye. They are well built easy to use love the lock-in latches on the sides
Fabulous hive..the best ! And this company has super fast shipping.
