What Is the Bee Cube?

An Insulated Building for Working Bees Indoors

Image by Damien TUPINIER

The Bee Cube® is an insulated 8' × 12' building for working honey bee colonies indoors, out of wind and weather. Each colony flies outside through its own wall entrance.

​

  • 16, 18 or 21 entrances; five-frame, 15-Deep or Langstroth boxes.

  • New from $20,000. Used from $10,000.

One Building, Many Jobs

Use a Bee Cube® for wintering, spring build-up, queen rearing, pollination placements, honey production and inspections in any weather.

1

Built to Move

Built for wherever the bees need to be.

 

Each Bee Cube® is a self-contained, insulated building. The newest units sit on steel beams and are usually moved by crane truck, and a Bee Cube can be custom built onto a trailer. We deliver anywhere in Canada.

Work Indoors, in Any Weather

Inspect in good light, out of the wind.

​

Hives sit on benches inside while the bees fly out through the wall. An interior light, two outlets and a powered vent keep the space bright and the air fresh. The Bee Cube is not heated, but the outlets can run a space heater if you want one.

Bear-Resistant

Bears have tried.

They were kept out every time.

​

Bears have tried to get into Bee Cubes on a few occasions and were kept out every time. The enclosed building also keeps mice, skunks and similar animals away from the hives.

Proven in Our Own Yards

Our results, not a promise.

​

Ten Bee Cubes are in service, all fully functional. About 80% of our bees came through last winter, most colonies with no heater. Last season we bred 3,000 queens, all from a single Bee Cube.

"I have been beekeeping the traditional way for more than 18 years, however now, Bee Cube® has made it easier than ever to manage and protect my colonies."
