We’ve made some very exciting changes to the Hex Hive®!
It’s now an even better home for honeybees!
One new change:
The peaked roof is now made of copper!
Copper is antimicrobial which helps maintain a healthier hive.
It comes with the attached ventilated inner cover.
The really exciting change is also a Secret to Healthier Honeybees:
Every super is made from cedar that is smooth on the outside and rough on the inside.

You are currently browsing the archives for the beekeeping category.
The male honey bees are called drones. They don't do any work in the hive and have no stinger. Their job is to mate with virgin queens. It is thought that the drone represents the "sense" organ of the colony. With their big eyes and antenna, they receive the the stimulus for the safety and well being of the colony.
Worker honey bees are all female and live only 6 to 8 weeks. They do all the work. Only worker bees sting, and only if they feel threatened. They die once they sting. Honey bees communicate with one another by "dancing". Honey bees fly at 15 miles per hour.
The queen bee is the largest bee in the hive. She lives for about 2-3 years. The Queen is the busiest in the summer months, when the hive needs to be at its maximum strength, and she can lay up to 2000 eggs per day. She is constantly fed and groomed by her "court", the attendant worker bees.
Instead of asking the bees, "What can I get out of you?" I ask, "What can I do for you?"
