The Warré Hive

Also called “The People’s Hive”, was designed by French Abbot Émile Warré in the mid 1900’s to more closely resemble the natural home of the honey bee while still being practical for the beekeeper.

Gaining popularity in recent years not only for its benefit to the bees that live within, the smaller and lighter boxes of the Warré Hive are also easier for the beekeeper to manage.

My hives are handcrafted from sustainably harvested radiata pine, and come fully assembled, in either uncoated timber or oiled.
