An Easier Way To Manage Bees.
Let customers speak for us
I was wondering how the shipping was going to work, but everything was delivered in great condition. I am impressed with the quality. The instructions and the instruction video were very helpful. The parts fit together perfectly, and the pre-drilled holes were spot on. I got my hive together and now have bees in their new home. I look forward to the upcoming tasks that I will be faced with, in the new hive. After 16+ years in beekeeping, I am as excited as I was in my first years. Thanks!
It’s wonderful to have all the peices/parts at the ready. Building and painting is a job. Wonderful additions to the apiary. Can’t wait to buy more!
Components are very high quality! Everything fit together perfectly.
Hope the bees like it as much as I do!
The quality of the construction is solid! Everything went together well. I’m eager to add swarms to the hive to get started!
This hive went together just perfect. This is my second one, I also have a 1 queen keeper. I am 70 years young and love my bees but getting too hard to work those heavy boxes. I have one with bees in it now and I have to stop myself from going into it all the time!!!
Came very well packed, assembled easy.
Can’t wait to put my bees in it .
I still have to paint it .
Came very well packed, the wood used was awesome.
Assembled very nicely can’t wait to put my Bees in May.
Thanks guys for making the The Keeper Hive .
One of the hive sides was bowed a little but I made it work. Assembly was pretty easy.
This is by far my favorite hive! The bees stay calmer since I'm not taking their house apart as much and my back hurts way less. As a veteran with lots and lots of back issues I really appreciate the accessibility this hive offers. I can't wait to have more
I started beekeeping ten years ago and became a practitioner of the Demaree method of swarm prevention and honey making. I quickly got tired of hefting heavy boxes of bees to move brood frames from the bottom brood box to the top of the hive every week or two. The Keeper’s Hive made it much easier on my back and the bees. I run a 2Queen and three 1Queen hives successfully for several years (yes, I’m a pre-production early adopter)
Excellent, well built product. Hoping for a happy, healthy hive with lots of honey.
The advice to install the boxes right away is a good one. Some of my boards started warping just a little bit. I had no problem assembling the hive. Can't wait till spring.
Love this Hive! Had fun assembling and painting. Can’t wait to put them out in the yard!
The install instructions and video were super easy to follow! Just waiting on spring to start using!

A HIVE FOR ALL BEEKEEPERS
CHECK OUT THE ONE QUEEN KEEPERThe One Queen Keeper allows colony management to be performed without any heavy lifting. It also makes delicious varietal honey and simplifies swarm prevention.

A HIVE FOR ADVENTUROUS BEEKEEPERS
CHECK OUT THE TWO QUEEN KEEPERWith effective management, the Two Queen Keeper can outproduce two individual hives. Like the One Queen Keeper, minimal lifting is required.
Langstroth, just without the lift.
Our innovative design allows you to access all of the frames in the brood chamber without needing to remove the boxes above. Because the bees are unable to reach the ends of the frames, they can't propolize them in place. This allows users to slide frames out from underneath the supers when necessary. The majority of your inspections and colony management can now happen without any heavy lifting – you can even do it all sitting down. The best part? Our hives are compatible with nearly all of the widely available standard Langstroth components that many beekeepers already own.
"Our primary design goals were ease of use and improving colony health. I believe we achieved those goals."
