“A fantastic invention. As a beginner beekeeper, they are easy to use, adaptable to situation, really simple to install and if you sign up to emails they tell you what to do and when to do it. Finally when you order them, in the box there is a packet of flower seeds to grow that your bees can use which is a lovely touch and obviously shows the company is passionate about the cause.”

“Last year, I bought two hive entrances and three more this year. I love them, they are great colours and such an easy way of quickly changing the entrance. They arrived quickly and came with a little baggy with wildflower seeds and a handwritten note. How sweet is that?! I can definitely recommend them!”

“As a new beekeeper, I wanted something simple and effective, and the Hive Five Multi Guard has been ideal. It was easy to fit and didn't require any special tools or experience. The instructions were clear, and it felt reassuringly solid once in place. What I really like is the ability to change the entrance size easily. As a beginner, it's great to have that flexibility while learning how colony strength changes through the season. It's also given me peace of mind knowing it helps protect the hive from wasps and robbing without blocking the bees or causing congestion. I also found the book Beekeeping for Beginners excellent — clear, practical, and very reassuring for someone just starting out.”

“From order to arrival was fast love personal note. Everything needed to install in the box and great videos to reference. Great to support UK small business. Can see this lasting years and doing a great job.”

“I started using a set of the Hive-Five entrance system on one of my hives last year. They really are so easy to use and effective. No more fiddling around with tape and pins to deal with the usual issues, just pop in the appropriate entrance and that's it. Job done. I've now bought 3 more sets for my other hives. The different colour options are a great idea if you have your hives close together as it deters drifting. Definitely recommend any beekeepers to try them.”

“I had the privilege of being at the BBKA Spring Convention and in addition to my shopping list I came across the Hive-Five stand. Chatted to staff and saw the simple demo. I'm not one for parting with money but I'm pleased to have resisted this tendency and bought 3! One has gone onto a hive already and would say it is neat and does the job. Less gaffer tape and the multi-guard will help over the season with wasp and mouse protection and I'm especially pleased that it can be used to close the entrance for moving the hive while keeping ventilation. The others are reserved for a newly established community orchard where I plan to place hives. In this setting the bright colours add to the aesthetic too.”

“Great company to deal with and very helpful. Natalie was happy to offer advice and nothing felt like too much trouble. Really quick delivery. The entrance guard holder is really handy and they have thought of every eventuality. First class product. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this company. Keep up the great work, Phil.”
