Watch These Four Videos to Learn What Makes Beepods the Best Top Bar Hive
A story from Windy City Harvest Youth Farms (a program of Chicago Botanic Garden)
We had struggled with beekeeping for years using commercial hives at our Windy City Harvest Youth Farms. Staff and youth farmers alike were not confident in accessing the hives from week to week. It was haphazard at best, frustrating at worst.
We had high hopes for the Beepods hive to help us turn our beekeeping education around. Now, our staff are highly confident in maintaining the hive and tracking the activity.
During a recent open house, youth farmers led a demonstration of their skills for a large group of visitors... something that we were never able to do before.

A Story from Milwaukee County Zoo
I had limited knowledge about beekeeping until the Milwaukee County Zoo decided to get a beehive. I thought it would be challenging to manage the bee colony without getting stung. But it's been an enjoyable experience so far and a great learning opportunity. Having a hive has made me appreciate and respect bees so much more.
The Bee Bootcamp was very helpful. It gave me a better understanding of how a colony works. The hand-on training was the most helpful because I tend to learn the best while actually “doing”. I also like that there are videos available on the website as an additional learning tool.
I found the Hive Inspection Checklist easy to use and I like pictures that explain what everything means. The Healthy Hive Management Software was straightforward as well.
