All hives and components are hand assembled and painted, and each is created to the specifications of each order. Due to the custom crafting required, hives generally take 4-6 weeks from time of order, and may take longer at busy times.

Custom painted Langstroth hives and components
Beautiful bees deserve beautiful hives!
Wicked Ladies Bees produces custom painted hive components like individual bee boxes, bottom boards, and covers to give you the ability to make your hives a true reflection of your own style! From solid colors to graphics and colorful UV-protection exterior stains to firechar finish, the combinations you can create are endless! Beekeepers can choose box styles that reflect their own personal style- mix and match graphics , designs, and colors, or create a coordinated beehive masterpiece!
If you want a complete, coordinated hive kit, Wicked Ladies Bees can work with you to design a look you (and your bees!) will love for years to come. You can choose from a wide range of colors that reflect not only your style and personality, but also are best for the region you live in. We work with each of our clients individually to design the perfect hive.
All components and hives and sold assembled, for the most wether-resistant finish possible. All painted surfaces use exterior grade finishes to give you years of lasting use. All boxes are painted with two or more complete coats of exterior finish on exposed surfaces, and graphics are added on one, two, or three sides, allowing you to quickly re-assemble hives the right way after inspections. Each box design is complete within itself, meaning you can mix and match, or use WLB hive boxes in any stacking order and still have great looking hives!
Currently all hives and boxes are for 10-frame equipment. If you have a special request for other sizes of equipment, please contact us. If you are a beekeeping supplier or service provider and you are interested in a custom hive for your clients, please contact us to discuss options and ideas. Check out the WLB Gallery for ideas and inspirations!

Custom built long hives
|
|
Wicked Ladies Bees produces long hives that accommodate 30-32 traditional deep Langstroth frames (depending on equipment used). Long hives can make hive management easier by limiting the weight of full bee boxes needing to be moved for each inspection, and this style is preferred by many people who manage hives independently.
Long hives are made to order and include everything needed to get started, including custom inner covers and entrance reducers. Long hives can also be customized with additional features, including locking hasps for security, tie-down rings for storm preparation, and custom paint colors and graphics. Because of their size and assembled weight, long hives are only available for pickup in southeastern Massachusetts, or for delivery for an additional fee. Contact us for more information or to get started designing your new long hive with Wicked Ladies Bees!
