What a GREAT review. Thank you. Color imbedded, insulated, predator resistant, no rot, no moisture retention, pollen trap, great ventilation, white color option, stronger than wood, etc.
These look super cool. They only thing that has always held me back is the cost. That set up is almost $400, while a comparable assembled wooden hive set up is $200 on the high side. Though I have seen some videos where people add wooden boxes on top of these. That might be an option, especially if you run single brood boxes. Would love to hear how these do in keeping bees alive through winter. Cold up here in Central New York.
thanks! I'll be doing some update video's along the way. next video will be the nucleus colony pick up and install. great suggestion about the link, I will do that.
Thank you for the review of the apimaye hive. I am thinking of getting one also. I will be a first time backyard beekeeper. What breed of Bee are getting for your hive? I am still deciding, but thinking of maybe Russian bees.
Thanks for watching, i ended up getting Italian be so that my children can help. But from what I've read, Russians are quite a bit more mite resistant, but require more smoke and expertise.
Hi thanks for posting this. I wonder how the winter feeding works out since the food supply will not be directly above the cluster? It looks like the bees would climb on top of the feeding frame to access food. I have had success In wooden hives with using Inverted sugar board. I appreciate your insight on this...
Kerri, As far as I can see there is no issue with the bees accessing the food, APIMAYE Designed the hive so the bees can access it internally just above the frames. It’s one of the best Designed Integrated feeding systems that I’ve researched. I’ll have more on this in the coming videos, as I receive my NUC pack In two weeks! Super excited.
for videography the tan is much better, white would have reflected to much light and over exposed my shots. but I could see that white would possibly be better for more UV intense climates. thanks for watching!
I'm new to bee keeping and looking to get my first hive. So bare with me. But arent you suppose to have 2 brooder boxes and he supers above? This looks like just two brooder boxes. Or are you looking to Add wooden supers in time?
I don't understand why people that don't use the standard Langsthroth hive always blow hard to show how much better their unconventional hive is. I don't see a single commercial beekeeper using Apimaye hive. Commercial beekeepers are in for the money and if the Apimaye hive gave them an advantage they would certainly be using it. I guess Apimaye exploits inexperienced beekeepers.

Cool review of the hive. I would be interested to see a follow up video that shows when you place the queen and the bees in there. Good stuff!
Thanks a lot! I plan on doing a whole series from NUC installing - winter.
Super excited about this company.
One of the best hives ever I love it 😍
I've been trying to decide whether or not to go into the bee business too. I'm gona take a class next month, these hives really interest me.
Great idea on the classes! We are super excited to get the nuc in April. Update vids to come soon! Thanks for subscribing.
They're very nice I just got four myself really impressive stuff.
Excellent review of what seems to be a fantastic hive product.
Thankyou for the review..you made it very simple!!..
So awesome!! Cant wait to meet the bees!

Nice video. Just ordered one of these.
Nice review of the product. Hopefully it will work well for you. You might consider adding a product link. Thanks

ty for sharing, I want bees :) could you share why you chose the tan over the white?
for videography the tan is much better, white would have reflected to much light and over exposed my shots. but I could see that white would possibly be better for more UV intense climates.
thanks for watching!
Did yours come with the frame stand? Mine arrived today without a frame stand.

APIMAYE.com sells supers, I'll add one this year.
Love to try, too bad U.S dont delivery to Europe, hmm
Yayyy :-)
I don't understand why people that don't use the standard Langsthroth
hive always blow hard to show how much better their unconventional hive
is.
I don't see a single commercial beekeeper using Apimaye hive.
Commercial beekeepers are in for the money and if the Apimaye hive gave
them an advantage they would certainly be using it.
I guess Apimaye exploits inexperienced beekeepers.
So would you stay in a room that was totally plastic? So why subject your bees to that.
so far they love it. no mold, no mites and no lingering moisture even with 2 ft snow this winter. I'll keep monitoring though.
@@BumbleThyme no mites? Did you test? Or visual only
Is it me or can you not latch it with the feeders on to
?? That makes no sense.
there should be two latches, the top one should be the ones you use when the feeder is off.
