With one in every three bites of food we consume directly tied to the work of bees and beekeepers, populations are growing worldwide, and food shortages on the trend, the need to feed has produced a growing buzz within the beekeeping industry.
The demand and pay for commercial pollination services is at an all-time high, and home gardeners are wanting to produce clean and healthy food on their own. As a result, the beekeeping industry is witnessing a ripening of growth as consumers become beekeepers themselves.
With that growth, these consumers have witnessed many innovations within the industry. However, the build and construction of the modern beehive has basically stayed the same since its invention in 1851.

Having to remain lightweight and affordable, beehives are produced lacking durability, being constructed with pine wood, the woodenware is painted, and then placed out to endure the harsh wear and tear eliminates of mother nature; thus, commercial beekeepers are forced to replace approximately 10% of their woodenware hive components every other year.
With 90% of a beekeeper’s equipment being replaced at a rate of 10% every two years, and costs to maintain or replace equipment at an all-time high, the expense burden has become overwhelming for most beekeepers.
Mellivo recognizes the bees prefer wooden structures yet many wooden hive kits on the market are flimsy and made of inferior material that breaks down too quickly to be economical for many beekeepers, both hobbyists and commercial operators. In response to the lack of durable solutions in the market, Mellivo created a patented Mellivo Strong Coated Woodenware solution that provides the same lightweight pine internal size and structure as the industry standard beehives manufactured by our competition.
What separates the Mellivo Woodenware is the Company’s patented FDA food grade Mellivo Strong Coating applied in a propriety faction to the exterior of the wooden hive components.
This coating makes Mellivo’s woodenware the most durable on the market today. The Mellivo Strong Coating is a one coat application with 30 second tack free times, which drastically reduces OEM Manufacturing costs compared to the traditional paint and waxing processes.
