Why HiveQ Works

We’ve built a community of over 610 beekeepers. It’s growing fast because people are getting real value from it.

  • Active moderation — we keep the conversation helpful and on-topic
  • Experienced members — ambassadors and long-time beekeepers share what they’ve learned
  • No judgment — everyone started somewhere, and beginners are welcomed
  • Ongoing support — we’re here for you every step of the way

Starting out in beekeeping can be tough. There are SO many things that can go wrong. Having a community you can turn to whenever you’re stuck makes all the difference.

One Hive Became Three

I absolutely love HiveQ. Without Laurence and the gang on here I never would have been able to be as successful as I have been in my first year as a beekeeper. One hive became three and I had two crops of honey – unbelievable. There’s no judgement on here, just solid, supportive advice, even if you ask what you feel could be a daft question. Just complete support and kindness. This is a very special group to belong to and I’m so grateful I have access to it.

Your first and best investment

It’s been my first year keeping bees, but certainly not my first year intending to! The community and resources on HiveQ have given me the confidence to finally give it a go. HiveQ has guided me through everything from installing my first nuc and splitting a colony, to queen introduction, swarm control, honey extraction and getting the bees set up for winter. The advice and knowledge I’ve gained have also saved me a heap of money on equipment. Make HiveQ your first, and best, investment.

Still keeping bees because of this

I’ve said this many times, but I’d say it again: if I hadn’t found Laurence on no nonsense beekeeping initially, and then BMH and 14DBK, 100% I would not be typing this now. Almost certainly I would not be keeping bees. I’m pretty confident that with all the help from the seasoned pros I will get through the winter successfully.

Invaluable after 20 years

I’ve been a beekeeper for 20 years and HiveQ has been invaluable. The brilliant community have never failed to answer any questions I’ve had. Thank you all.
