Our D-I-Y Plans for Observation Hives  have been built all over the world and loaded with bees for enjoyment and education.  We are happy to be a part of the growing knowledge and advocacy of this marvelous and critically important, world wide creature, the Honey Bee.

Bonterra Bees observation hive designs are fast becoming a world wide standard. We have sold Plans to France, Russia, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, etc, etc and all over the world.

        Building an Observation Bee Hive designed by Bonterra Bees may look complicated, but it's not. Once you choose your model, half of those lines, numbers and diagrams disappear. Basically, you will create some Hive Case stock from your choice of wood, drill some holes in it and screw it together. There is nothing complicated here, and we think you will really enjoy this woodworking project.

    We have designed our Observation Hives to be created from locally available, inexpensive materials, and there are no high-tech tools or procedures required.
