Beehives

Beehives for sale: Dadant and Langstroth-style hives, wooden and polystyrene hive bodies, floors and roofs — for beginners and professional beekeepers.

Which beehive should you buy?

The two most common systems in continental Europe are the Dadant hive (a deep brood chamber with shallow honey supers) and same-size-box hives such as Langstroth, where every hive body is identical. For a beginner we usually recommend Dadant — frames, foundation and advice are easiest to find. Professional apiaries increasingly prefer same-size boxes for fully modular work.

Wooden or polystyrene hive?

A wooden beehive is the traditional choice — well ventilated and sturdy, but heavier. A polystyrene hive is warm, lightweight and excellent for overwintering in a northern climate, though it asks for a gentler touch with the hive tool. Either way, precise dimensions matter most, so frames and boxes fit together perfectly. We ship hives EU-wide; larger quantities go out on a pallet.
