Everything you need to start — for less,
with less to lose.
A complete package
All you need, in one place
Significantly cheaper
No costly hive or foundation
Less Risk
Hardier bees, more likely to thrive.
Less financial risk
Whether you are an existing beekeeper or a new one,
ZEST Hive and frames will help you save.
Existing Beekeepers - Next time you have to replace your wooden frames, which you will, change them out for ZEST frames that last forever, are strong and can be sanitised and cleaned without risk of carrying any disease or unknown issues year in year out
New beekeepers - You may want to give beekeeping a try, but setting yourself up can be over £1000 in equipment, equipment that can and will likely become diseased and need to be burnt. ZES T will not cost you that, and you will not need to burn your equipment. If you decide you didn't like beekeeping (we would be surprised, but hey) your ZEST hive can be reused for various projects in the garden.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"The ZEST hive really does deliver as a happy home for bees, and easy beekeeping for (lazy) beekeepers such as me.
After 10 years of trouble-free beekeeping with one ZEST hive – no swarming, no disease, no costs for hive care and repair – I have just purchased frame packs for a second ZEST hive.
The latest edition of Bill’s ZEST book in which he cites the research and practical evidence now gathered also demonstrates the bee and beekeeping benefits of the ZEST hive over traditional hive designs."
Mr A Torbet, , Malvern -

"I found my first summer with a Zest hive much easier than I had expected. There was less to do than I had thought there would be and there was a wonderful amount of delicious honey. Building the hive was cheap, quick and easy and the whole experience was straightforward. The colony was healthy and I had no problems during the season."
