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.

  • Are your Hoffman Frames ready, can’t see them on your site. If so how much for 30 DN4 & 30 SN4, presume they come in the flat? Do you do or will you do anything for the WBC – Floor/stand with varroa floor ?
    Your kit looks great will definately be placing an order for some things I need for my girls.

    Thanks for the Hive Tool I feel lucky to have noticed your competition on the site and get a picture of your vehicle before someone else spotted it !
    Have a couple of questions about the order for the hives and will give you a ring tomorrow.
