In 2017 we had two West Sound Beekeepers Association members add AZ hives to their apiaries, in 2018 we added one shed with two custom built hives to the club apiary.
​
The advantage to this style of hive is the ability to work from inside a shed out of the elements.
​
The disadvantage to this style of hive is that at this time it is a custom job requiring a greater cost, time commitment, and skill doing wood working.
***In 2022 these hives were sold and are not available at the apiary.***
