What Are We Doing?
We’ve listened to your messages and calls and we’ve come up with what we think will serve the natural & foundationless beekeeping community best. Bee Built is going to focus on being the best resource for natural beekeeping education, product reviews, interviews, advice, plans for hives, and eventually, industry-unique beehive products. We know you depend on this content, and we’re committed to keeping it available for free as well as making it better and better.
We’re also going to do in-depth reviews and recommend products that we love and have used ourselves. If it’s a great product, even if we don’t carry it, we’re going to shout loud and clear that this product is great and we trust it. We’ll get affiliate payments from some of these products and not from others, but we’re always going to be calling your attention to the best of the best.

READY? OUR FIRST RECOMMENDATIONS
To begin, we’re excited to announce our recommendations of trusted companies we’ve known over the years. They are all close allies with a focus on expanding natural & foundationless beekeeping and native pollinator awareness. We love their quality and commitments, and we spent the last months vetting these products and talking extensively with these companies.
Every purchase you make on their sites when you use the below referral links helps fund Bee Built's mission! And, without further delay, our:
BackYardHive sells beautiful, handcrafted top bar beehives and beekeeping supplies out of Boulder, Colorado. Their founder, Corwin Bell, has spent decades gaining a deep understanding of the interrelated nature of a colony of bees and the bee hive structure that best suits their ability to survive. This understanding shows in their well-considered designs.

When it comes to high quality Warre hives, these hand made hives from Rebel Bees are made from super thick western red cedar in a small town in Quebec, Canada. They are amazingly robust, beautiful, and meet all of Abbe Émile Warré's dimension specificiations. These are the best Warre hive's on the market today.

MISSION
We focus on one mission: Promoting & Supporting Natural Beekeeping. Bee Built will continue to be mission-focused and provide the best content we can. Along the way we’ll also give shout outs to the best products out there. Over time we’ll promote some of own products as well, but only when they meet our strict criteria of being the highest quality, functionally superior design available. Remember, when you go to shop with our partners, please always try to use the links we provide so that we can continue to provide you with education, product reviews, interviews, advice, and plans for hives for years to come.

To our customers and supporters more than ever before, please keep talking with us and letting us know what you’re interested in. We’ll take your direction on what you want to learn about and use that to create our content. Also, please let us know when you find a great product so we can promote them as well!
