Ergo Insulated 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 :)

Arrived in good time and in good shape. Can’t wait for spring
I love these. My bees deal with the heat of a Texas summer so much better than the traditional wood boxes.
This was my second hive. My first was a wood hive purchased from Amazon. I’m very impressed with Apimaye. The hive came assembled and much better constructed. Looking forward to get some bees in this hive.
Rookie here, working with an experienced beekeeper as a mentor. I started with two hives and now I'm up to four. My mentor and I love this hives, especially for the low maintenance aspect. I live in the mid-atlantic region and our weather can be very cold at times. My bees had no problem surviving the cold. I highly recommend anyone looking for new hives to get on from this company. Great product and FANTASTIC customer support.
The Apimaye hives are a game-changer for beekeeping! One of the standout features is the excellent insulation value. These hives are incredibly effective at helping bees maintain a stable internal temperature, whether facing freezing cold winters or the scorching Texas heat. The insulation keeps the bees comfortable, reducing stress and energy expenditure, which is crucial for their health and productivity.
I also love that the company truly listens to their customers. The new cover for the top vent is a thoughtful addition for those of us who prefer not to vent the hives. It's clear that Apimaye values feedback and is committed to continuous improvement.
Overall, these hives are durable, well-designed, and make beekeeping easier and more efficient. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, bee-friendly equipment! We at Texasbeehaus.com high recommend them
