Verified Reviews for The Beehaus Beehive

Quite Pleased but surprised
Jon,
Hi I received my Bee Haus a couple of weeks ago and got it all put together very easily although I was very surprised when I came to put the frames together that the nails came through the top. Also when I loaded the Bee Haus up with the frames i had a big gap and after looking at Youtube it turns out that you can fit 11 frames not 10 but I only got 10 with it which I thought was strange. Im very happy with the product but these are little things that are easy to fix. Thanks Jon

Seems great so far
Brooklands,
For a full review please see our YouTube channel at Brooklands Honey Bees. So far I am happy with the item, delivery time was a lot longer than expected but given everything going on in the world I'm not to bothered by that, the hive in theroy seems excellent but won't have bees in it till spring (January at time of writing this review) so will be able to give a better opinion then on my YouTube channel. My only complaint at this time which is why I have only given 4 stars is due to the number of frames supplied, for a 22 frame hive (11 on each side) only 10 come with the kit which is one short, not a massive issue for me but if your new to beekeeping and by a package of bees I suggest you buy another pack of frames. My advice to Omelt, keep the jars and simply provide some more frames for the brood box. Otherwise very good

Susy,
Have it all put together but no bees coming until next summer so cannot review performance. Looks like it will do the job! I really like the minimal plastic packing, all the cardboard went straight into use as mulch on the garden.

so far, so good....but
Chris, Cambridgeshire,
Received the beehaus some time last year, immediately assembled it and the frames. I also played around with it before the bees went in just to ensure i know what everything is and of course I made sure I can operate it.Unfortunately you only know how the bees deal with it once the bees are in. Unfortunately the bees are exploiting all the gaps the beehive has. Most notably the gap between the Green sides and the Grey entrances. I put weatherstrip in there when all the bees were inside (evening) and that's at least solved. The other issue is that the supers don't seem to sit on the hive properly (silly little knobs to keep them in place) so I can see bees (and robbers) going in between the green sides and the grey supers. They also manage to get in where the bungy cord goes in the green lid! Although these things are resolvable and I will spread the weather foam/tape everywhere, I wish I knew this when the hive was empty. At the price I feel that the weatherstrip I'm putting on now should either be supplied or already on the product. Anyway my Nuc arrived and they are currently doing well and they seem to be doing very well. Lets hope the rest of the season is stress free?

James, Devon,
The Beehouse got its bees this evening and it amazing. The Haus itself came well packed and with sime easy to follow instructions. It was very easy to transport and put in place. It is well designed and protects the bees from the elements.

Concept sounds good. Service excellent
Tracey,
I kept bees 30 years ago in a WBC and I decided to restart this year with the beehaus. I liked the look and the concept of two in one or one large insulated hive. I was a little surprised as to how big it actual was and how heavy. The first hive that was sent was slightly 'out of true' and so the top boards would not stay in place, but there was no quibble from omlet who replaced it immediately. The service was excellent, and I now await my nucleus, hopefully my bees will like it as much!

Jayne,
Recently bought the Beehaus and I am very pleased with my purchase. It was easy to put together and really well made. The instruction booklet that came with it provide really clear instructions and also gave brilliant advice on looking after the bees.

Good practical beehive
Adrian, Dumfriesshire,
Already had Eglu Cube, so bought this too. It's easy to put together (though the instructions on assembling the frames could be a bit clearer). Very easy to access and inspect the bees. Some bees find the entrance a bit slippy, but other than that, excellent.

Just the job for the urban beekeeper
Tom, London,
So far so good. Three months in, and the Beehaus seems to be just the right solution for beekeeping on the roof of a small terraced house in London. Good kit, good manual, and even the bees seem well behaved. Some delays with delivery because 2012 has not been the greatest year for queen rearing - and all my local beekeeping association newbies have had the same experience. A small nigge re delivery of bits for the hive, but these were solved quickly and without fuss by the team at Omlet.

The Bees and I are pleased.
Clive,
Easy to put together and it feels sturdy. The hive entrances are well designed, with a partly sheltered landing ledge for the bees, and it enables the entrance to be varied easily by the beekeeper, to open it fully, close it, or partly restrict it to help the bees to repel interest from wasps. I find the working hiegth to be excellent - as a bee-keeper of average height. I have run a few polystyrene National hives, with the same sized frames 14" x 12", as used in the Beehaus. From a wear and tear perspective, both types will last many years, but the Beehaus, with no signs of damage from regular use, looks set to last much longer. A pleasing addition to the garden.
