Is it safe to keep a beehive indoors?

Yes. The hive is fully enclosed, and bees access the outdoors through a dedicated tunnel or pipe system. This ensures safety for both the bees and the people nearby.

Is it hard to maintain?

No. It requires minimal maintenance:

  • Refilling the feeder when needed → Just top up the bees’ food whenever it runs low.
  • Occasional checks on the colony → Take a quick look at the hive from time to time to make sure everything is fine.
  • Optional seasonal adjustments depending on the region → Make small tweaks for the season or climate if needed, depending on where you live.

In short: Very little work – just refill, check in occasionally, and adjust if the season requires it.

Does it come with bees?

That depends on your location:

In some regions. delivery with bees is possible. 

For international customers, the hive is delivered empty, with guidance for local colony installation

Do bees get stressed indoors?

No, as long as the conditions are stable and natural behaviors (like flying out) are supported. The design respects the bees' natural rhythm and provides them with proper orientation and exit options.

Is it safe for bees to live in a plastic beehive?

Yes. The plastic used in the hive is non-toxic, food-grade, and UV-resistant, specifically selected to be safe for bees and long-lasting in different environments.
Unlike untreated wood, plastic doesn’t absorb moisture or bacteria, making the hive more hygienic and easier to clean. It also offers better insulation and structural stability.
The material has been tested with live colonies in multiple climates and has shown excellent results in bee health and hive performance.

What are customers saying?

Ich hätte ehrlich gesagt nicht erwartet, von einem Bienenstock so fasziniert zu sein. Das erste Mal, als ich davor stand und den Bienen beim Arbeiten im Inneren zusah, verlor ich das Zeitgefühl. Es fühlt sich fast meditativ an. Ich glaube, so wird die Bienenzucht in der Zukunft aussehen.

Johann Müller – Technical Consultant from Munich, Germany

Она што најмногу го сакам е дека не морам да гатам што се случува внатре. Можам буквално да ја видам целата циклус да се одвива. Тоа ме прави да ја ценам пчелата на сосема различно ниво. Дизајнот е речиси футуристички, но истовремено изгледа многу природно.

Ivana Stojanov – Architect from Skopje, North Macedonia

Some people buy modern furniture or art pieces to make their homes unique. I have this hive. It’s stunning to look at, but what really matters is how close it brings you to the bees. Watching them work is addictive, almost like nature’s own documentary playing in real time.

Daniel Meier – Business Development Manager from Geneva, Switzerland

Nikada nisam smatrao da sam pčelar. Nemam opremu, obuku niti strpljenja za tradicionalne košnice. Ali s ovim, napokon osjećam da su pčele nešto čime bih se mogao baviti. Svaka čast ljudi.
Imam osjećaj da je ovo budućnost pčelarstva, da će pčele postati dio naših domova i života.

Boris Ilic – Restaurant owner from Split, Croatia

Nisem to kupil zaradi izgleda, ampak moram priznati, da je to prvo, kar ljudje opazijo, ko pridejo na obisk. Elegantno, moderno, nekako futuristično, a prava čarovnija je v tem, kar vidiš, da se dogaja znotraj. Zame je to skoraj kot da imam na ogled žive, dihajoče ekosistem.
