MANAWATU-WHANGANUI

Yes, with over 854,000 bee hives registered in New Zealand as at September 2020, there are still more people interested in buying bee hives. Canaan Honey in Whanganui have been offering bee hives for sale to new and existing beekeepers for over 39 years.

New bee hives are created in both spring and autumn of each year. Autumn hives need to be stronger and well looked after to be able to get them through the winter.

In the spring you have the option to buy a single box hive as a complete hive ready for bringing in summer honey, or a 5 frame nuc hive that you transfer into your own gear. In spring, the numbers of bees in each hive expand rapidly. Splitting into new bee hives can be a good idea just to stop them from naturally dividing and swarming off themselves.

See their TradeMe services listing for Bee Hives for Sale.

New beekeepers need experience, and Canaan Honey offer training as part of hive sales. People are able to see and help manage the Canaan team's hives and can call anytime for advice.

If you are interested in a bee hive, call Michael Brandon on m 021 728889 or visit their bee hives for sale page.

Canaan Honey also offer beehive rental.
