Maisemore Apiaries began when Leo and Leslie Hiam started keeping bees as a hobby, when the Second World War began they had to go and help the war effort so the bees were left to their own devices, on their return they increased the number of bees and began to make beekeeping equipment.

Now Maisemore Apiaries is still a family run and owned business, looked after by Eric, Johnathan and Mark Hiam, we now have approx. 1000 hives of bees all in standard National hives around Hereford, Worcester and Gloucestershire, our hives are used for pollination of all fruits and arable crops and honey production.

We are based in Maisemore, Gloucester and are still working from some of the same buildings that Leo and Leslie worked in, we now supply all of the UK and Ireland and indeed all the world.

Our shop is full of all the beekeeping equipment that is practical and essential to beekeeping, we are open six days a week, normally with a beekeeper on hand to answer all your questions.

Welcome to

The Environment

All the timber used in making our bee hives and hive parts come from sustainable forests around the world.

Wood waste is all recycled, saw dust and shavings are all bagged in our plant and used as bedding for pets and horses, timber off cuts are used as firewood. We also now manufacture wooden briquettes for open fires, ovens, chimeneas, woodburning stoves and bbqs at an amazing price of 3.50 per 10kg when collected from our premises.

Last year we bought a machine for recycling cardboard, old cardboard boxes are collected from local shops and used as loose fill/packaging for all mail orders.

The National hive is the most widely used hive in the UK and is available in several options, you may decide you require a larger brood area than a standard brood chamber offers, you will then require a 14 x 12 brood chamber or possibly an open mesh floor instead of a solid floor, there is also the option of an 8 deep roof, hive stand or gabled roof to make your National hive to look more like a WBC.

National Hive - Shallow Roof

All Images are for illustrative purposes only.

National Hive - Gabled Roof

All the hives in our range are made from Western Red Cedar, one of the most beautiful woods in the world, light yet very durable, ideally suited to the UK weather, we also supply some hives National and Langstroth in a Softwood option as not all of our customers are prepared to pay the higher price for Cedar, indeed on the continent and America most of the hives are made from Softwood, we ourselves have some Softwood bee hives which are more than thirty years old which Leo and Leslie used to use when they were beekeeping.

OUR RANGE OF HIVES

All flat packed cedar hive parts come complete with assembly instructions.

The WBC hive is the one most children would draw when asked to draw a bee hive, there is an outer skin and inner skin which offers more protection from the elements but also makes it more time consuming to use, this hive can also be purchased with a 14 x 12 brood chamber or an open mesh floor.
