British National Beehives


Based in a small workshop in Tideswell in the Peak District we make Highest Quality British National Beehives out of 1st grade American Western Red Cedar or High Quality Red Deal according to the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) Modified National Hive Plans. Everything we sell we make here in the Peak District. We also stock other items of Beekeeping Supplies including Frames, Foundation Wax and Hive Tools. The driving forces behind peak-hives.co.uk are sustainability and quality workmanship. Sustainability because, well it matters quite a bit we think and quality workmanship because customer satisfaction is paramount.



Cedar Scarcity.

Unfortunately building materials are extremely scarce at the moment and pricing is highly volatile. This goes for Western Red Cedar too. I have decided that until the market settles down I will not be making up any Cedar hives or hive parts. We'll be back in operation once the supply issues have been resolved. Many thanks.

Peak Hives Delivery!

Having retired the family car last year in October and managed (with great difficulty) borrowing my parents car in the meantime I decided it was time to look round for a vehicle that would do the family runs and also help out with delivering National Hive orders in the locality when necessary.  By chance we came across a real bargain and here’s the first batch of  flat pack and assembled Peak Hives National Hive parts out for delivery this morning.  The Berlingo is already a success with the children and it’s a fantastic addition to the business too.  The next step is to add a towbar so that I can pick up and move about the locally sourced cedar that Dave and Adele at the National Park authority very kindly send my way when they can.

Jim at Hotline signs is doing me some Peak Hives window graphics,  can’t wait to see them.  I would have liked to have continued living without a vehicle but it’s just not possible where we live.  If I did then I’d be giving myself a major headache and putting both family and business under too much strain.

  • Hello Nicholas, your vehicle looks great and you have a genuine need/use for it as far as I’m concerned. Those 4×4 “humvies” monsters I see everywhere annoy me.
