  • New Website, Shop Update and a Summer Sale!

    Posted on August 21, 2011 by matt

    As you may have noticed, our website looks a little different! Over the past couple months we've been upgrading it to new software, and about a week ago we went live. So far it's been working great! Please let us know if you run into any issues.

    It's been a very busy year! In May we moved into our new storefront in the Sellwood neighborhood of southeast Portland, Oregon. Initially we just needed a location at which we could store and ship hives, but we decided to turn it into a small storefront for our products. The response has been fantastic! Portland was clearly in need of a local beekeeping supply shop focused on the ever-growing population of backyard beekeepers! In addition to selling our products, we hold classes there as well! Our next class can be found here: Beekeeping Classes

    Here's a shot of the front of our shop:

    We've just realized that this is the only picture we've taken of our new shop in the almost 4 months we've been there! We'll make another post this week with some more updated photos.

    Last, but not least, all of our top bar hive and Warre hive products are 10% off through September, 15th! If you are looking to start beekeeping in 2012, or if you want to expand your apiary, now is your chance to get a good deal!

  • Planning for 2010

    Posted on December 21, 2009 by matt

    As the 2009 year winds down we are working diligently to keep up with Horizontal Top bar Hive and Warre Hive orders.  We anticipate the top bar hive orders of both styles will continue increasing as the 2010 beekeeping season draws near. We’ve got our suppliers lined up in preparation for an increase in production and while there have been a few hitches here and there, we believe we’re providing the best top bar hives for the price, produced from as many sustainably harvested and long-lasting materials as possible. But the question remains, what other top bar/foundationless supplies are our customers looking for, if any?

    We’re considering a number of options, such as top bar nucleus boxes that will work interchangeably with our top bar hives; top bar observation hives for those who enjoy showing off their bees beautifully constructed comb to neighbors and other events. What are you looking for in a top bar beekeeping supplier? What products would you love to see readily available to the top bar beekeeping community? It is our goal to provide the best service, best products and source for all things related to top bar beekeeping, and without you we cannot do it.

    Please respond to this post or use the following link to send us your comments, concerns or suggestions for the 2010 beekeeping season!
