This handcrafted Redwood Warré Hive is designed to mirror the natural architecture of a hollow tree — offering bees a home that supports their health, autonomy, and instinctual rhythms.
Floor Board with Landing Pad
Includes a gently sloped entrance, allowing a smoother transition for incoming and outgoing bees while supporting efficient airflow and debris removal.
Two Solid Redwood Bee Boxes
Crafted from full 1-inch-thick redwood (substantially thicker than standard ¾" boxes), providing superior insulation and durability.
Fitted with top bars to support natural comb building
Integrated handles for mindful, ergonomic hive management
Portholes with poplar bungs for observation
Roughened interior surfaces, encouraging bees to coat the walls with propolis — just as they would in a wild tree cavity, supporting hive hygiene and immune health
Burlap Cover Cloth
A breathable inner layer that allows moisture regulation while maintaining warmth and darkness where the bees need it most.
Quilt Box with Redwood Planer Shavings
Gable Roof
Hive will be unfinished (needs to be painted, or sealed naturally w/ beeswax + linseed oil. Instructions will come with your hive).
Hives will be available for pick-up at Onyx’s home in SE Portland the first week of March 2026, in plenty of time for swarm season. When the hives are ready for pick-up, you will receive an e-mail with instructions.
