Australian Honeybee is a small commercial beekeeping operation in Australia of 600 beehives. The operation currently manages 150, 10 frame langstroth wooden beehives and 450 Paradise Honey Beebox EPS beehives, We established our first 100 Paradise Honey Beebox hives in 2012-13 which we ran alongside our original 10 frame langstroth beehives. The initial 100 hives were established to evaluate the viability of the EPS beehives in Australian conditions. During the season, we kept records of the amount of honey produced per hive and we discovered that the EPS beehives outperformed the traditional wooden beehives by 35% on average throughout the 2013 season. Since then we have expanded the quantity of the Paradise Honey Beebox hives to around 450 and we plan to fully replace our wooden beehive with the EPS beehive as soon as possible. We again in the 2014 season recorded significantly strong yields of honey and improved bee health from the EPS beehives.
