I like convenience this board gives if we need to move the bees. Quick and easy to close them in.

Thanks for the upgrade options
I have been using wooden hives for several years and I have upgraded boxes to 2x12, 1 1/2” versus 3/4” boards. I am phasing all of the 3/4” boxes to be swarm traps, but for the three thick box hives, I like that I can upgrade them to get another 3-4 years of use as I upgrade to all Apimaye hives.

Landing board
I came to this site to hopefully find an Apimaye landing board that would fit my brand new Apimaye hives and agree with the previous comment- yes it would be nice if they could add an option of a larger landing board to their hives. Thank you

Make the landing boards available for new Apimaye standard hives
My old wooden hives had a larger landing board surface as compared to my new Apimaye hives. Apimaye makes a larger landing board, but it only can be applied to older wooden hives. I bought several without realizing this. I modified them with a couple of simple metal brackets and they work great on my new Apimaye hives. I would like to see Apimaye incorporate this feature (option/standard) into their future hives development. Photos on Apimaye Facebook group.
Thanks, J-
Great feeder. But I take sponge cloth, double it over after cutting to size and slide into the liquid gates. It avoids bees drowning. Very sturdy built.
This is perfect for storing the honey spoils for the hives I work.
I did doubt the handles to be able to take the weight of its own contents, but I am glad to be proven wrong and it looks great in my house scheme.
The top I ordered is exactly what I thought it would be. The feeder is great. My bees love it. They have increased their activity since I started feeding them. It is like my hive came alive. My bottom will be delivered today and I can't wait. I know my bees will love it, as they seem to love the top and feeder. Great company, great products and delivered on time. Looking to buy more as I increase hives.
