A family business built around quality & craftsmanship
Proudly family-run by a husband-and-wife team with a genuine passion for beekeeping and traditional craftsmanship, Hyde Hives combines years of woodworking experience with a commitment to creating exceptional beehives. Every hive is handcrafted in our UK workshop from start to finish, making us the only company in the UK to manufacture every hive completely from scratch. We believe quality should never be compromised, which is why every hive is built to order.
Traditional craftsmanship in every beehive
We combine skilled woodworking techniques with precision manufacturing, using premium locally sourced cedar, timber and quality British materials. Every component is carefully crafted, inspected and finished by hand, with bespoke hive designs built to your exact specifications. Designed for strength, durability and years of reliable use, every beehive reflects our attention to detail throughout the manufacturing process.

EXCELLENT
I am very pleased with the Long Hive I collected from Hyde Hives this week. It's a real work of art and I can't wait to transfer my bees to it. Thanks Dean and all involved in making it.
Fantastic hive hand built from quality timber. They are very friendly and offer an excellent service, so good I now have 2 of their Long Hives.
Over the moon with this gift from my wife, Dean and Tanja even delivered it personally all the way to Aberdeenshire, fantastic looking hive, professionally built and superb customer service.
