Have you been dreaming of starting a beehive of your own but don't know how to start? The Beehaus, created by the makers of the Eglu, aim to make beekeeping simple and stylish by providing you with everything you need – that is, except for the bees.
The Beehaus is designed to make bee keeping easy. Using standard National frames, the Beehaus accepts double the number of frames of traditional bee boxes, allowing for two colony's per box. The hive comes fully insulated, keeping the bees cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Other features include a wasp guard, to prevent wasps from entering the hive and a mesh floor for good air flow. When it times for your bees to produce honey, simply use one of the four supplied supers.

These are so stinkin' adorable! But what happens when it's time to split the hive next spring... spend another $900? Truth be told, I'd much rather have these stylish little numbers neatly lining my yard than my traditional hives, but they seem ridiculously cost-prohibitive. You never know quite how quickly your colony is going to grow and traditional boxes make adding an additional super or brood box easy and accessible. I'm just a "backyard beekeeper" and within two years, my hives have quadrupled. If you don't split hives when they outgrow their habitat, the queen is likely to initiate a swarm and you'll end up with no bees at all (sob:(). But, if you use traditional Langstroth components and you possess even the most basic carpentry skills, you'll never be without a spare box. If $$$ isn't an issue, these actually look awesome, well thought out, and user-friendly. I just adore bees.
Suzid, I totally agree. I would love this cute hobby hive in my backyard, but making a hive yourself or ordering regular ole components is so much cheaper, plus if there is any kind of disease/mold you can easily make a new hive and recycle/chip the old box. Even though this is nice plastic, it may not lend itself well to sanitizing.
I have to agree with suzid about the cost factor... although these are super cute!
Also, there's a typo in this phrase: "...allowing for two colony's per box." - should be "colonies." (Normally I wouldn't comment about grammar/spelling, but this one really bothered me for some reason.)
I'm a beekeeper like other commenters on this post. I agree that these beehives are cute and cost-prohibitive, but my biggest concern with these is ventilation. That is a huge issue in beekeeping. If bees can't get rid of the extra moisture in their hive, it takes too much energy to make honey. Mold, mildew, and dank air contribute to increased incidents of disease. Our bees are struggling enough.
