We are partnering with Apimaye to bring you a queen rearing system that will last a lifetime.  This Defender Hive is an important part of your apiary management and overall queen rearing system.  This hive enables you to raise and mate up to 4 queens at once, in 4 separate compartments, each with its’ own entrances and top feeders.  This system houses up to 16 each of the Deep Mating Half Width Infinity Frames at one time.  The dividers are also removable, allowing you to run a combination of full and half size frames, as well as two standard nucs, the ability to combine two small hives into one, or run a complete standard 10 frame setup as well.

This item does not include the Deep Mating Half Width Infinity Frames to go inside of it.  Those must be purchased separately through our shop page.

Look for the Defender units to be back in stock for January/February 2027.  Units can be backordered for early 2027 delivery.
