Ergo Insulated White Single Brood Box Beehive Set

I live in extreme desert heat of the Mojave and that's why I buy these. They work but they still aren't perfect. Do your own research as I did before you buy anything. These are expensive, so is buying bees. It just made sense to stop buying bees and investing in a better hive so I don't have to buy bees all the time. These hives are nice and well built and they come with so many variables and variations that you can build the one to suit your climate and keeping needs. I'll be buying more in the future to save my bees from cooking in 165* Fahrenheit ambient temperatures. They also work very well in the extreme Northern cold. Try it I think in my opinion you'll be impressed and want to buy another one or build the existing one bigger.

Nice hive

I like the hive except the one piece feeder I paid extra for. If it has syrup in it, forget doing an inspection. I had syrup dripping all over my bees and frames. I wish I stuck with the 2 piece so I can still do inspections without removing syrup.

A night and day difference!

My three hives were really struggling with bearding in my traditional wooden hives last summer, and again early this summer. We decided to start with one Apimaye hive to see if we liked working with plastic hives and the difference was like night and day! Both of these hives looked identical before we switched over to Apimaye. With our brutal SC summers, this was a no brainer. We've now switched all three hives and we've had zero bearding even in 97-100 degree temperatures.
