About Us

We make beautiful hives your bees will love and you’ll be proud to show off in your yard. When you invest in a hive from us, you’re getting a hand-crafted, lovingly-assembled product shipped right to your door. You aren’t buying something made on an assembly line outside of the U.S.

Our shop is in a restored warehouse in SE Portland, OR. The whole crew works together in the same building where the hives are assembled. We hear the rumble of the train and the buzz of the saws while we’re working on the marketing.

In everything we do, we seek to:

• Build products we're proud of. We'd rather make fewer, well built hives than a bunch of poorly made ones.
• Support local businesses and US-made goods. The wood, the hardware, and the work all stay close to home.
• Create jobs instead of outsourcing them. Skilled work pays a wage someone can live on, and the work itself is worth doing.

We’re constantly refining our craft. So send us your stories, requests for product updates, or just little love notes.

We’ll read every one.

If you’re in Portland, come on by - we’ll give you a tour.
