BackYardHive is a pioneering brand in the world of beekeeping, established in 2005. They have led a global paradigm shift in beekeeping practices by promoting healthy, bee-centric management methods. With a focus on chemical-free beekeeping, BackYardHive has paved the way for a sustainable future for bees.

They were the first to offer online resources and training for backyard beekeepers, making it easier to get started in top bar beekeeping. BackYardHive is committed to providing fully assembled top bar hives and sharing knowledge and technologies that support successful and chemical-free beekeeping. Their bee-centric practices prioritize the survivability of colonies and the preservation of genetic traits that enable bees to thrive.

Founder Corwin Bell, a seasoned treatment-free Bee Guardian, has dedicated his life to bees and has built his own hives since the beginning. The hives offered by BackYardHive have been refined through years of experience, resulting in designs that prioritize bee welfare. One of their notable creations is the Golden Mean Ratio Top Bar Hive, which has become a bestseller.

This hive, along with their other designs, is open source, allowing beekeepers worldwide to create healthy habitats for bees. In addition to their innovative hive designs, BackYardHive also offers the patented Cathedral Hive®, which incorporates years of observation and study of hive nests in the wild. This hive design was developed in collaboration with bees themselves, allowing them to determine the optimal structure for their nest.

With a commitment to bee-centric practices and a focus on sustainability, BackYardHive is a trusted brand for beekeepers of all levels, enabling them to care for their bees naturally and responsibly
