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.

    Hi, I just would like to add.

    I understand from your site that the wait period is 5 weeks. I would be happy to wait up to 4 months for delivery as we are just about to begin winter, our cold climate elevation won’t warm up until October. I would be interested in 3 hives.

    thank you Jacqueline

    Jacqueline, Many thanks for the enquiry! I’d be happy to send our hives to Australia if you can sort out the shipping. We normally only sell here in the UK but we’ve had alot of interest worldwide. I’m just about to make up an order for Holland which is pretty easy for us to ship. Hope that helps. Email me if you need any help. All the best. Nick Buttle.
