HIIVE raised over €141,000 from 340 backers on Kickstarter
Conventional beekeeping has focused on honey yields—often at the expense of the bees themselves. The HIIVE SERIES ONE turns that model on its head. Developed and manufactured in Germany, HIIVE offers a species-appropriate home for honeybees, designed to replicate the thermal, spatial, and structural benefits of their natural habitat: the tree hollow.
Crafted from durable, weather-resistant materials and scientifically engineered geometry, HIIVE empowers bees to thrive with minimal beekeeper intervention. Rather than maximizing harvest, it prioritizes the health, independence, and long-term survival of your colony.
What’s Included in the HIIVE Complete Package:
• Insulated Weatherproof Cover – Protects from sun, wind, and rain
• ISO DOME + ISO TUBE – Double insulation system for year-round thermal balance
• Inner Breed Room (37.5L Cylindrical Volume) – Mimics the geometry of tree cavities
• Honey Room – Dedicated space for honey storage, includes Queen & Bee Excluder
• 2x Flight Decks – Natural entry/exit ramps for bees
• Buckets + Base + Pole Screws – Full assembly support
• Storm Lines + Barriers – Stabilizes and secures the HIIVE in harsh conditions
• Optional Add-ons:
– Pole Set – Elevates HIIVE for easy access and predator protection
– Monitoring Kit – Digital sensors track temperature and hive activity
Designed with Bee Health in Mind
🐝 Natural Comb Building: Bees are free to build their own comb—no plastic foundations or frames. This leads to improved rotation, better ventilation, and healthier brood development.
🐝 Temperature Regulation: Insulation and cylindrical shape reduce workload for the bees, especially in winter and extreme heat.
🐝 Species-Appropriate: HIIVE’s form and materials support bees’ natural behavior, allowing colonies to thrive with less stress and fewer treatments.
🐝 Low-Intervention Beekeeping: Fewer checks are needed. The bees regulate their environment naturally, minimizing time investment.
🐝 Compatible With Treatments: HIIVE supports standard Varroa mite treatment and even allows for veterinary inspection (e.g., for foulbrood).
🐝 Honey Harvesting is Possible: Despite the absence of frames, fair and functional honey extraction is still achievable using non-invasive techniques.
Easy to Set Up & Maintain
The HIIVE can be mounted using the optional Pole Set, ideal for elevating the hive above predators and moisture. The modular components are intuitive to assemble, and maintenance is minimal. The weatherproof exterior and robust inner insulation make it suitable for year-round use in various climates.
Ideal for new and experienced beekeepers looking for a sustainable, ethical, and research-based approach to apiculture.

1. Can I install HIIVE without a pole?
Yes, but it’s strongly recommended to use the optional Pole Set for elevation. This protects against ground moisture, pests, and offers optimal bee flight paths.
2. How long does it take to set up the HIIVE?
Setup usually takes under an hour with basic tools. All parts are included, and detailed instructions are provided.
3. Can I monitor hive activity remotely?
Yes! The optional Monitoring Kit includes digital sensors to track temperature and other key hive metrics. It helps reduce unnecessary inspections.
4. Is it suitable for first-time beekeepers?
Absolutely. HIIVE is low-maintenance and designed for those who prioritize bee health over mass harvesting. Minimal interventions are needed.
5. Will I still be able to harvest honey?
Yes. While HIIVE doesn’t use traditional frames, it supports fair honey harvesting methods that respect the bees' natural comb-building process.
6. How does HIIVE help reduce bee loss in winter?
The insulation dome and tube mimic the stable conditions of a tree hollow, easing the bees' energy demands and supporting winter survival.
7. What types of bees can live in HIIVE?
HIIVE is designed for Apis mellifera (European honeybee), which includes most commonly kept bee subspecies worldwide.
8. Can I inspect for diseases like foulbrood?
Yes. HIIVE supports access for veterinary inspections and treatment applications, including for foulbrood and Varroa.
9. Is maintenance required throughout the year?
Minimal maintenance is needed. Seasonal checks and occasional cleaning are typically sufficient. With the Monitoring Kit, you may reduce physical inspections even further.
10. What’s the life expectancy of the HIIVE hive?
Built from durable, weatherproof materials and engineered for longevity, each HIIVE comes with a 5-year warranty and is built to last well beyond that.
