Beequip’s 2-in-1 beehives offer a smart, practical solution for beekeepers who want flexibility, efficiency, and convenience in their hive setup. Designed to suit a range of management styles, these hives allow you to run two colonies in one footprint, making them ideal for queen rearing, splitting, overwintering, or maximising space in your apiary.
These versatile systems are popular with both hobbyists and commercial beekeepers looking to improve productivity while reducing equipment and transport costs. The shared design helps with heat retention and colony strength, while still allowing independent management of each hive. Where a weak hive going into the honey season will typically bring you no honey to harvest, this setup changes all that by allowing colonies to support each other and build strength when it matters most.
Our 2-in-1 hive range includes quality materials, durable construction, and compatibility with standard New Zealand beekeeping equipment. Whether you’re growing your hive numbers, raising queens, or managing smaller colonies, these hives provide a reliable and adaptable solution.

Unlock the Potential of Smaller Colonies:
Beequip 2-in-1 Beehives are meticulously crafted to help beekeepers like you achieve maximum production from smaller colonies. By housing two smaller colonies side by side, you create a dynamic synergy that multiplies their efficiency.
Community Supers for Abundant Honey:
Our innovative design includes community supers, a shared space where your bees collaborate to store honey. This cooperative environment ensures that they harvest more honey than they would individually.
Simplified Hive Management:
We understand that successful beekeeping requires ease and convenience. With Beequip 2-in-1 Beehives, you can effortlessly check the outer brood box, making colony inspections a breeze. You can also feed and treat for varroa mites.
