Questions, answered.
Popular:
Will the bees sting me inside my home?
No. The interior face is sealed and the only opening leads outside through one tube.
Is it safe with children and pets?
There is no route for bees into the room. Mount the hive out of small children’s reach.
Can I collect honey?
Yes. Symbiotic 3026 has a honey collection system: a funnel guides honey to a removable tray. Slide it out and place a jar in its spot. The amount depends on climate, season and colony strength.
What is a nucleus colony?
A nucleus, or nuc, is a small colony: a queen, workers and a few frames. Symbiotic is made for nucleus colonies, which stay small and are safe for the environment. You need at least 1,000 g of bees or 5 frames.
Do I need to know beekeeping?
No. A local beekeeper introduces the colony. After that you refill the feeder, check in occasionally and make seasonal adjustments.
Why aren’t bees included?
Live bees often need permits and quarantine to cross borders, and local bees suit your climate better. A local beekeeper introduces the colony, and we help you find one.
How long does installation take?
About 20 minutes. You need a 20 mm drill bit, or a 20 mm core drill for concrete. Silicone sealing is recommended.
Can I install it in an apartment?
Yes, with an exterior wall for the tube. If you rent, check with your landlord.
Is indoor beekeeping legal where I live?
Rules vary by country and city. Please check locally before ordering.
How long does shipping take?
We ship with DHL Express worldwide, free, insured and tracked. You receive the tracking number once the parcel ships. Import duties, where applicable, are paid on delivery.
Do you ship to my country?
We deliver to more than 70 countries. If yours is missing at checkout, write to info@futuristicbeehive.com and we will check.
What is your return and warranty policy?
You have 30 days to return it, plus a 12-month warranty. EU statutory two-year rights apply where they exist.
