Precision isn’t static. It’s a process shaped by patience, experience, and knowing what works. It’s what keeps our timber hiveware square through long hauls and hard seasons. Long before the first box is assembled, Prowood selects Radiata Pine in New Zealand, where it grows straight and strong, with a fine, even grain and dependable density. From first cut to final fit, consistency is in its nature.

Steady Hives Shifting Seasons

See Us In action

Home, not hardware

Beehives are quiet logic – organic forms, symmetry, and strength balanced with space. Nature knows how to build for life. Our wooden hiveware works with timber’s natural grain, built in step with what bees already understand – stability, simplicity, and rhythm shaped by the season.

Long seasons, short windows

Beekeepers work long, demanding seasons, moving hives, chasing flows, preparing for winter, all within tight pollination windows set by climate and crop cycles. Alliance wooden hiveware is built for real field conditions. Freeze to thaw, long hauls and the weight and wear of the road, our hives hold firm.

Led by the grain

Our timber holds steady through seasonal extremes. Crafted from Radiata Pine, Alliance wooden hiveware is kiln-dried to 12% moisture content, grain-aligned and built to last. No swelling, warping or gaps. Boxes stay square. Frames stay firm. Purpose made for challenging weather conditions (or north America)

Ready for work

Our wooden hiveware arrives ready to use, it insulates in winter, regulates in summer, and holds up under the weight, pressure, and miles of pollination runs. Tested to fit leading extraction equipment and built to handle frost and freight, season after season. Hiveware that does its job, so beekeepers can focus on theirs.

Freight fit

Precision-cut and structurally sound, our hives keep form through stacking, loading, and long-hauls. Clean joinery prevents shifting or loosening in transit – whatever the distance, whatever the season. From orchard to prairie, freight yards to field, Alliance precision wooden hiveware is made to move.

Shaped By PurposeSustainable
by design

We treat timber as something worth getting right – from forest to final fit. Radiata Pine is grown for purpose, replanted for the future, and cut with care, not compromise. FSC certified and naturally resilient, it holds its shape, reducing waste, replacements, and the hidden costs that splinter returns. While plastics push against the environment, timber works with it – insulating naturally, lasting longer, and following the seasons, not short-term trends. . Built for bees and business.

Timber does what synthetics can’t – it regulates. Radiata Pine slows heat and holds warmth, creating a stable climate inside the hive. It scaffolds the hum of industry through humid summers and deep Canadian winters. Where conditions shift, timber stays steady, offering quiet insulation that supports the work within.

Outwears the weather

Graded, dried, and cut for durability, Radiata Pine is built to last. It holds through moisture, movement, and time – reducing warping, replacements, and the maintenance that eats into returns.
