What is B‑BOX?
B‑BOX is a beehive.
We're not going to pretend otherwise.
But traditional hives were invented over 150 years ago, for professional use. It's time to rethink beekeeping for urban settings.
That's why we reinvented the hive to make it easier and safer for us and for the bees. For city dwellers, for people with a garden, for those who have never kept bees — and for those who want to start again, without barriers.

B‑BOX at homeFeatures
Four principles.
One urban hive.
Every detail of B‑BOX starts from one question: how do we make beekeeping accessible, without compromising the bees' wellbeing?
Simple
No smoker, no levers. One movement separates the honey super from the brood box: harvesting honey becomes a gesture, not a trade.
Interactive
Watch the bees work, build, dance. B‑BOX is a small theatre of nature — perfect at home, at school, or in the office.
Bee‑friendly
Spaces, materials and ventilation designed with beekeepers and biologists. Bees do better in B‑BOX than in a traditional hive.
How it works
Separate the honey super from the brood box
with a simple gesture.
Three steps. No experience required. The honey ends up in your jar — the bees stay exactly where they should.
Watch the honey super
Through the glass you see when the combs are full and capped. No need to open the hive to know.
Turn the separator
A patented mechanism isolates the honey super from the brood box in seconds. The bees stay calm, you work in peace.
Collect your honey
Pull out the super, collect the honey, put it back. Your first jar, from your own balcony — literally.
Anatomy
Every part has a precise reason.
- 1
Insulated roof
Protects the hive from rain and direct sun, keeping the ideal temperature for the colony.
- 2
Honey super with panoramic glass
Watch the combs fill up day by day. Once they're capped, it's time to harvest.
- 3
Patented separator
The heart of B‑BOX: separates honey super and brood box in one gesture, without disturbing the bees.
- 4
Solid wood brood box
Standard dimensions, compatible with Dadant frames. The bees recognise it as home.
- 5
Reinforced base and feet
Stability on balconies, terraces or ground. Entrance facing the rising sun, as nature intends.
