“My research is all about enabling anyone to become a scientist. HEXHIVES combines affordable technology like 3D printing and attractive, easy to implement design into the world of apiculture (beekeeping). I believe intersections, like this one, of modern technology, ancient practices, and novel design are the key to progress for the good of science and the environment. Making beekeeping more accessible and affordable is why I chose to partner with HEXHIVES. If you would like to know more about our ongoing collaboration please do not hesitate to reach out!”

What Beekeepers Are Saying

Real stories from beginners and pros who have put Hex Hives to the test.

I honestly have been shocked and blown away—the Hex Hive has completely outperformed my two Langstroths.

Jamie F.

"I’ve worked with wooden Langstroth hives for years, and I was skeptical at first. But the Hex Hive design really impressed me. My colonies are using every frame, and insulation is better than wood. It’s a game changer."

Carlos Ramirez

"Combining 3D printing with beekeeping is brilliant. I used my Bambu Labs printer to build a Premium Hex Hive and the quality is fantastic. It feels good knowing I can expand my setup anytime without huge costs."
