Experimental Hives
The TOTEM hive
This hive can hold a population of one million bees and up to 16 queens due to its height.
Mass mirroring allows it to be 40 times more productive, in addition to abundant renewal of the colony.
At SBH, we try to better understand bees and meet the needs of beekeepers.
Expected developments:
- Multifactorial approach to colony disorders
- Monitor the different varieties of bees with a view to sustainable development.


Smart Hive
- Scale
- Audio recording
- Video recording
- …
The goal of this hive is to be able to track the bees activity at any time using a smartphone or computer. The aim is to prevent any possible problem that could have adverse effects on the colony, such as a decrease in the amount of honey produced or an increasing mortality rate.
Components:
- Waxed interior (beeswax)
- Non-chemically treated wood
- Dowel & blind hole assembly
- Uses naturally occurring glues and resins


Dadant Hive
The famous hive is also made in our workshops. We make it custom to the number of frames desired with heated wood for better resistance to weather, pests, and disease transmission.
This hive has many advantages:
- A large body for the comfort of bees and an optimization of production
- The hive develops according to the frames to facilitate the harvest
- Around 40 kg empty (88 lbs)
