Confidence in the perfected design led to the formation of Bee Tidy in 2025. Today, every single hive is individually handmade by Nick inside an authentic oak-framed barn nestled in the heart of Kent. Nick is supported by his wife Zoé, who handles all sales and marketing, while their eldest son James (eighteen) built and designed the online storefront. Three more sons (sixteen, fourteen and thirteen respectively) are already in the shadows learning their father’s carpentry and wood working skills, making Bee Tidy very much a passionate family affair.
These master-crafted storage solutions are now available to purchase directly online, as well as in select farm shops and premium garden centres across the Weald. When you buy from Bee Tidy, you are investing in 26 years of absolute woodworking precision, two full years of dedicated field testing, and a dedicated eco family business.
