The Story Behind the HiveHeater
FAQs
Will my bees consume more honey if they are being heated?
This is a very common question, after years of research we have found that your bees do not consume more honey when they're being heated. This happens because your bees expend a lot of energy when they're trying to stay warm, and so if they don't need to worry about staying warm, they end up consuming fewer calories, and often consuming less honey throughout the entire winter.
What if I leave the hiveheater on too long?
Bees are robust when it comes to warm temperatures. Beehives have been known to survive internal temperatures above 130°, the only real concern being that the wax could melt. Leaving the Hiveheater on for an extra week or two won't hurt the bees, but we will be sending out reminder emails at the end of every season just in case!
How does the hiveheater lower the humidity inside the hive?
By increasing the airflow inside of the hive, humidity is decreased
Does this product work with all Hive sizes?
We will be shipping models for both 8 and 10-frame Langstroth hives during the 2024 season, and expanding to less common hive sizes
