Everything we do, we do for the love of bees. We bet you do too – it’s probably why you’re on our site today. Through our hives, we aim to give bees the best possible living environment, while helping you to get the most out of your beekeeping experience. Here are eight ways Hyde Hives betters your beekeeping.

 1. Benefit from the very best in British craftsmanship
All of our hives are handmade to order, using only the highest quality British materials. This includes the finest English cedar wood, which we source from a sustainable forest near the workshop. By choosing Hyde Hives, you’re supporting your country’s economy and helping the environment too.

 2. Support your bees with a healthy and happy home
It’s not just about the outer hive. We want to create the best possible environment for the colony, which is why our brood boxes are designed to mimic the size of the wild honeybee’s preferred nesting site. The inside of the hive is also rough hewn which, like when the bees are in nature, encourages the production of propolis, a resin material that maximises their ability to fight off diseases.

3. Getting started couldn’t be easier 
Don’t worry about assembling things correctly – we’ll do all that for you. We personally deliver your hive fully built and ready to go, before providing you with a handy starter pack that offers everything you need to begin your beekeeping journey. Be sure to check out Easy Hive, our online resources hub that draws on our 15 years’ hive building experience and Dean’s own beekeeping knowledge. There you’ll learn how to source bees, discover helpful videos, and have access to bespoke training and online materials.

4. Learn loads by seeing your colony up close
In your hive, you’ll find lots of built-in perspex, which helps you see clearly what your bees are up to and look after the colony in between inspections.
