An Easier Way To Manage Bees.
Let customers speak for us
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!
The Keepers Hive Two Queen Hive is very well crafted and so easy to put together- the large base box joints were perfectly cut allowing it to squared up with minimal effort. Same with the spacer box and lids- easy assembly and easy alignment of hinges and clamps. The system also makes for a large canvas for expressing your creativity during painting!
With this system, all of the problems I had had with makeshift horizontal two queen hives will be solved! It will be so easy to inspect EVERY frame in both brood chambers without removing any upper boxes. I’m looking forward to enjoying the power of two queens again for honey production as well as for a queen right starter/finisher system to make new queens.
We got our hive back in DEC when the fund raising sales were shipped. We assembled and painted it. The video instructions as well as the manual were a great help. I did miss up on a couple of the latches and had to drill my own pilot holes. While we didn't show the putting it together we did do an overview of the great packing, Quality of the wood as well as how the hive looks when finished in our Youtube channel at SolitudeAcres.
Overall we love the Hive and are very excited about getting the bees put in it within the next month or so as see how we do with all the possibilities this hive has. We have also recommended the hive to some friends that our getting ready to order it. At some point we will getting the two queen hive. Thank you for a awesome product. God Bless

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."
