Bench Hive

Are you a hobby beekeeper looking to enhance your beekeeping experience? Tired of constantly lifting heavy bee boxes and bending over to inspect your hives? The Ceracell Bench Hive is designed to make your beekeeping easier, more efficient, and enjoyable!

Why Choose the Ceracell Bench Hive?

• Ergonomic Design – Mounted on a sturdy stand, keeping the hive at waist height to eliminate heavy lifting and back strain.
• Flexible Colony Management – Equivalent to two standard bee boxes wide, with multiple entrances that can be opened or closed as needed. Run it as a super-colony or divide it into up to four separate colonies.
• Compatible with Existing Equipment – Easily add two standard honey supers on top for honey production.
• Proven Performance – Trialed with 15 bench hives, proving exceptional overwintering capabilities and strong colony growth throughout the year.
• Optimized Ventilation & Bee Flow – Four adjustable entrance discs allow you to control airflow and hive access, helping the colony thrive in all seasons.

How It Works

At the height of summer, your bees will operate at full capacity, utilizing all four entrances to maximize nectar and pollen collection. When the season slows down, you can reduce entrance sizes to match the hive’s population. For honey production, simply add two standard 10-frame queen excluders and honey supers—and you’re ready to go!
