How to ECO Beehive
The hive
Buy the hive and put in the garden.
The Honey harvesting
Honey can be taken, if you wish, or just have bees for the fun of having bees
The Hive
Its a treestump
Even Poe Bear knows bees have beehives in trees,,, not in Boxes
Derived from hundreds of iterations and tests.
I have inspected and followed hundreds of wild colonies. I have kept bees using most conventional methods: Top Bar hives, framed box hives, and Warré hives.
The ECO BEEHIVE IS hands down the best
Two hives, in the end

And in the end, I have two hives: one for temperate areas like England, and one for colder areas like Scotland and higher parts of Europe,, and the USA.

The roof is a non-ventilated roof, Stylish and clasic.
middle
The hive is 30 mm or more thick and is made to last for dacades.
bottom
In the bottom of every tree hive is a myriad of bugs, mycelium, and other organisms. This is what we provide you to put in the bottom of your ECO BEEHIVE.
With predure trated roof and legs, with an all natural body, your ECO BEEHIVE will look great for many years to come.
Honey , One visit a year system
very basic outline
So this is a very basic idea of how it works,
If you provide honeybees with somthing that resembles what they are looking for in a home, bees will move in.
AND THEY DO.
transitional area
Honey
SO after studdying honeybees for a quite a few decades I doscoverd how to harvest honey with out harming the bees abuility to over winter.
Just swap out the honey box once a year and that it!!
After much resurch
After much resurch
After quite a few years and hundreds of experiments, I have come up with what is essentially my NOOK AND CRANNY honey harvesting system.
Basically, if you add a small space to the transitional area of a hive, the bees will treat it like the mantle around the brood area. The mantle around the brood area is where they store food for the brood and prepare food for the brood.
But here is the cool part: if you have just the right size, shape, location, and access space, the bees will put only honey into this space — with no queen excluder neded.
And the coolest part is that in winter, when they start to feed, they will leave this honey behind and never use it through winter.
The system of managment

AND WE ARE NOT APIARISTS!!
We are honeybee hosts.
Natural Beekeepers
Put the hive in the garden.
Then get it populated.
Then take honey in the second good season.
and then very year there after
Eat honey. Repeat.
getting bees
not a apery system
not a apery system
To get hives populated, you can:
– bait the hive
– put out bait-hive boxes
– put out swarm sticks
Then move the bees you catch into your hive.
On avarage if you just have a hive, and you bait it methodicaly from april till September, most people report getting a swarm in the first or second year.
locating hive
You will never find bees within 150 meters of each other, unless geographically separated by some sort of obstacle, so we do the same.
I would recommend that any beekeeper have at least five hives. This way, you are guaranteed to have bees and get honey.
hive location
Under a deciduous tree, bush, or hedge, giving winter sun and summer shade, with an open area in front of 5 to 7 meters. To achieve this, you can place the hive up to 8 meters in the air.
For allotments, you can mount it on a stick to carry the weight, strapped to a tree.
South-facing, or facing the rising sun.
Or, pretty much anywhere outside.
