Whether you want 1 or 1000 hives, beekeeping can be a hugely rewarding hobby. Beehives take time, and they need to be managed carefully, so before you get any hives, you should think about what you want to gain, and what you are willing to put in.

Read, read, read!
Buy or borrow a few good beekeeping books. Practical Beekeeping in New Zealand is a good book to start with.

When to start?
Now! The best time to start a beehive is in the spring. This is when bees are just starting to get busy.

Consider your equipment
If you want your equipment to last it is worth paying a little more for better quality gear that will not fall apart or break. Our $99 Starter Hive is a great place to start – it’s pre-assembled and ready to go.
