The bees do the hard work for you, pollinating your plants and boosting your garden's yield with minimal intervention.

Not only do our hives ensure a productive garden, but they also contribute to food production right in your backyard. The increased pollination from our bees leads to healthier plants and a more abundant harvest. Imagine enjoying fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers, all thanks to the diligent work of your stingless bees. These hives are an excellent investment for anyone looking to enhance their garden's productivity and sustainability.

Safety and peace of mind are paramount with our stingless bee hives. Unlike traditional beekeeping, our hives house bees that are physiologically incapable of stinging, making them ideal for families and communities. You can confidently place these hives in your garden, knowing that they provide all the benefits of bee pollination without the worry of stings. 

Step 1: Simple installation

Our fully stocked, stingless bee hives come with everything you need for a quick and easy setup. Whether you prefer a DIY approach or opt for our Done-For-You installation service, you'll have your hive up and running in no time. 

Step 2: Hassle-free maintainance

Our hives are designed for simplicity and efficiency, ensuring that you can enjoy the benefits of beekeeping without the usual workload. Regular checks and light maintenance, such as cleaning and occasional inspections, are all that’s needed to keep your bees happy and productive. 

While you wait for your hive to start producing the amazing honey, we will supply you with a jay of native bee honey to enjoy and share with your family and friends

Step 3: Split or harvest

As your hive grows and thrives, you’ll have the opportunity to split it, creating new hives to expand your beekeeping venture. This not only boosts your garden's productivity but also supports local biodiversity. Alternatively, enjoy the delicious honey produced by your bees.

Turn your garden into a living classroom of science, sustainability, and responsibility

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or new to beekeeping, you’ll find that there’s always something new to learn and discover. Bees provide an excellent opportunity to study and understand the intricate balance of ecosystems and the importance of sustainability.

By integrating a bee hive into your garden, you’re not just cultivating plants; you’re nurturing a deeper connection to the environment. This hands-on experience teaches responsibility and the importance of caring for our planet, making it an ideal project for families, schools, and community groups. Let your garden be a beacon of environmental stewardship and scientific curiosity.

Frequently asked questions

  • Hives are made from a composite material. We have chosen the composite material because it is durable and does not require painting. It is also rot and termite resistant. This means you can keep them in your yard without fear of attracting timber pests to your house.

  • Our hives also include polycarbonate dividing plates. These plates make propagating (splitting) or harvesting clean and safe for the bees.

    They help the hive come apart at the joins without causing damage to the internal contents. This limits pest attraction and also makes it safer and is more gentle on the bees.

    We recently collaborated with Western Sydney Uni to trial different methods of splitting hives. Splitting using our hive design resulted in far more successful healthy colonies for the bees than using the eduction method (the supposed more gentle method).

    Why was this? When splitting you open the hive and intervene far less. Opening or viewing inside the hive is actually detrimental and can cause stress on the bees. By opening the hive cleanly using dividing plates once when splitting we were able to have the hive open for far less time than if we were checking eductions weekly or fortnightly.

  • Hives need to be protected from hot midday and afternoon sun. It is best to position them facing a north east direction with protection and shade from 11am. It is also important to keep hives away from reflected heat from hot surfaces like colourbond fences or concrete.

    We do not offer refunds on our hives, however we back them with a 6 month guarantee. This means we will supply a new hive if your hive fails as a result of loosing the queen in the first 6 months. We cannot cover hives that have been exposed to extreme heat over 40* or hives that have been opened, split, harvested or modified.

  • Stingless bees require very minimal intervention. Clearing away spider webs and ensuring a clear flight path are the key maintenance points. From there, you can add extra tasks such as weighing the hive on scales, yearly splitting or harvesting that can be done yourself with a little training. If you do not wish to harvest or split you can get us to do it for you. Hives do not have to be split. They self regulate their numbers and never swarm and leave the hive.

  • Yes. It takes time for the bees to fill the hive completely and store excess honey. We will give you the information needed to harvest your own honey. We also offer our services to do this for you if you require a demonstration.

  • Native bees contribute to biodiversity, sustainability, and play a significant role in pollinating plants, leading to the production of fruits, nuts, and seeds.

  • Absolutely. They are stingless and will live in harmony in your garden among your children and pets.

  • Hives will be posted out during November and Early December 2025

Northern Rivers, Tweed Coast, Gold Coast

Our social native bees (Tetragonula Carbonaria Bees) live in areas East of the Great Dividing Range and from Tropical Queensland Down to Bega NSW. We can only post these bees within the areas that they are naturally found. Solitary Native Bees are found all throughout Australia. They can be attracted to you garden by setting up appropriately designed native bee hotels. Please be aware that most commercially produced native bee hotels aren't actually suitable for The Australian solitary bees, so it is worth looking into making your own or getting a woodworker to make some for you with the appropriate dimensions. If you are after plans for native bee hotels, please email mark@australiannativebeeco.com
