Sustainability: An ethical corporation.

The Cedarwood for our beehives is harvested from the legendary Taurus Mountains where many people believe Santa Claus (St Nicholas) originated. Each timber purchased is officially checked for sustainability purposes before reaching our manufacturing plant. We pride ourselves as an ethically aware, environmentally conscious supplier. We never buy timber unless we personally have verified the source and checked the credentials of the supplier.

100% natural and chemical free.

There’s another reason why our Cedarwood beehives and beehive parts smell so good, and why you should insist on our product. Our beehives are made from 100% natural Cedarwood, nothing added, and guaranteed without the use of any chemicals. They are produced by local carpenters who use traditional methods as well as modern machinery (they sundry the wood first). Each beehive is made from a single piece of timber and so we do not rely on machine pressing (edge joining) which involves chemicals and strong glues.

Make it your own: Your beehive, your finish.

Of course, the choice of finish is your choice, and you should have it exactly as you wish. You can retain the beehive in its rustic, untreated state, or use linseed or teak oil (or any other finishes)  to give them a personal touch that suits your taste and surroundings. Cedar is pitch free and perfectly suited to take virtually any stain, finish (or even bleaching) product, giving the beekeeper or builder myriad choices on the final look.

Whether you are an experienced beekeeper, or a novice, give your bees the best and choose a real Cedarwood beehive today.

On behalf of HoBee we thank you for your custom.
