The Deluxe Model
Do you want something totally unique? We can do that!

Painted Hive with Viewing Window - $600
This is a top bar hive that is typically made of pine. It comes with a viewing window and is meticulously painted with weather-resistant paint that holds up even in Florida's unpredictable weather! This hive can be painted other colors, but white is usually preferred.



The Stripped-Down Model - $400
This hive is a very basic top bar model with a pitched plywood roof, un-painted hive body, and no viewing window.
The corner-molding used on the top bars will encourage straight comb building by the bees. These hives come with two follower-boards which can create three different chambers in the hive which allows the user to raise nucs or do splits if desired. The roof may be covered with a plastic banner material on request.
Small Hives - $250-$350
These hives are smaller and easier to move than other models, and they're just the right size to maintain a fairly sizable colony. A basic hive is $250, and a model with a viewing window is $350.
