British National BeehivesBased in a small workshop in Tideswell in the Peak District we make British National Beehives out of 1st grade Western Red Cedar, high quality Red Deal or, when available, locally sourced Western Red Cedar according to the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) Modified National Hive Plans. Everything we sell we make here in the Peak District. 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. Holidays 2010After the hard slog of the 2010 season we'll be taking the first two weeks of August off. Please note that you may continue to place orders and they will be attended to when we return. There are going to be a number of new National Hive related products developed and workshop improvements made during the quieter winter season so keep checking the site for news on these.

By Monday I had a stack of Red Deal National Supers reaching up to the rafters of the workshop! National Hive Super Stack Completely cleaned me out of Red Deal. There’s more being delivered on Thursday and luckily I’ve a good [...] I’ve had quite a few requests to produce top bee space national hives.
