Some of our selections have adjustable sizing to accommodate different bottom board styles.
Find the Perfect Hive Stand for Efficient Beekeeping
Most beekeepers use a DIY setup, using two cinder blocks or concrete blocks to support the hive stand. However, this can cause disadvantages, such as instability on uneven ground, increased moisture buildup, and difficulty controlling hive height.
With these options, however, you can provide an even better and safer environment for your colonies to thrive.
Our hive stand collection ensures your hive sits at the right height, allowing air to circulate underneath and prevent moisture buildup. Keeping the bottom board elevated creates space between the hive and the grass, reducing the risk of rot and pest infestations.
Because your hives are not on the ground, you protect your beehives from ground-dwelling predators such as raccoons and skunks. The raised board also helps maintain a clean entrance, preventing debris buildup.
Whether in a backyard or a larger garden, these hive stands provide stability and protection against crawling insects, floods, and strong winds.
Beehive Maintenance Simplified
Our bee hive stand raises your hives up to 12” (30.48 cm), a comfortable working height for most people. In this elevation, you can inspect and clean your hives without bending over or lifting hive components such as frames and supers.
Lay a strong foundation for your bee colony with a new hive stand. Using our products, you can experience a more pleasant and successful beekeeping practice. A sturdy hive stand keeps your hives elevated, ensuring better airflow and protection from pests. Give your bees the stable and secure home they deserve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a bee hive stand?
A hive stand improves beehive ventilation, protects against pests and weather, and makes hive maintenance more comfortable by raising the hive off the ground.
Can a hive stand prevent ants from invading my hive?
Yes! Elevating your hive with a stand makes it harder for ants to reach, and you can enhance protection by applying ant barriers or traps on the stand legs.
Will a hive stand work on uneven ground?
Yes, but for best results, place the stand on a level surface or use shims to stabilize it. Some stands also have adjustable legs for uneven terrain.
