  • We at ‪@kinnibees‬ have run our operation on insulated hives for 5+ years now and we are not looking back. Plus they are condensing hives, which means no air movement. Check out how using a condensing beehive, can greatly increase your colony's survival and help make your bees healthier.
    Check them out at our website- www.kinnibees....
    A condensing hive does not have any ventilation at the top of the hive this allows the conditioned air by the bees to remain mostly within the hive and gives the air conditioning control back to the bees. This very closely mimics a tree hollow. Can bees thrive in a standard Langstroth or similar? YES. Is it more difficult? YES. Are you missing out on a better experience? Likely!

    Thank you for an honest review on the benefit of insulated hives, I use FlowHives (wooden ware), Apimayes, and HiveIq hives. Honest facts, my honeybees completely propolize all Apimaye vents, but boy are they bearproof!! Have you used HiveIq's software? Jim - Florence, SC

    Do you guys add any insulation around your Hive IQ hives for the winter? I live in west central wisconsin.

      We run at a minimum insulated condensing covers on all hives. The HiveIQ are fully insulated.

    Old mate here in Australia pulled 7 tons of honey in winter over 2 weeks in uninsulated plastic nuplas hives.. bees don't care what they are in a 40 gallon drum in 40 degree Australia heat in a paddock pulling in honey... all they need is resources...and it's you the beekeeper that's got to hunt down the resources. Dump beekeeping and rename ourself as a botanist with livestock that sting and stop kidding yourself with the technology. How much science and studies documentation as been overlooked for the past 100 years globally by the average beekeeper due to commercial interests... I know the hive iq story in detail... investors need to get paid.... just don't sell me bull dust... my bees don't care... they just want a warm dry place to thrive and resources...
