Caddon Hives Reviews 

Brilliant service. I made an enquiry via the website at the weekend and to my amazement received a response straight away! As a result of that quick reply I ordered and had my hive parts ready for action a couple of days later. Couldn’t have been easier or quicker.

Excellent service, took only 2 days to get to arrive. Best value and quality hive parts I have bought. Recommend these guys any day!

The service was excellent order arrived really quickly. Would highly recommend this business and will definitely use them agai

A great service from Peter who helped us ensure we had all the essentials for our first colonies. Despatched promptly. Really pleased with the hives we made up. They seem great quality and look fantastic.

Second hive and thought the base was incorrectly assembled. I mentioned this to Peter and he very politely pointed out it was upside-down, and yes he was right!!
Great company and very helpful👍

Ordered a hive online with Caddon Hives. Website very easy to use and included delivery charges to UK Islands which was very useful (many companies don't!)
Hive arrived on time and is exceptionally well made and a work of art and competitively priced
Very pleased and would definitely recommend this company.

Great service from Peter and very high quality hives. Always a fast friendly service and a pleasure to deal with. We have been a customer of his for nearly ten years and have 15 WBC hives, their ease of assembly and quality of materials is as good as it gets.

Beautifully made hives and excellent customer service. I asked for a quick delivery having misplaced a part and they got it to me in time for my bees showing up. Very much appreciated.

Just bought my 3rd Hive from caddons, excellent quality as always, great customer service, fast delivery time, wouldn't go anywhere else for bee equipment, keep up the great work!

This is the third hive I have bought from Caddon Hives and I thoroughly recommend them. The quality is very good, the service is exceptional and nothing is too much trouble for them. It is such a pleasure to deal with an independent family well run business.

Very good quality hives. I ordered mine to be assembled and it was ready for collection within the week. All parts of the roof are cedar, unlike my other hive from Thornes which uses chipboard with cedar sides. Excellent value for money.

The hive arrived today - and I have to say it was worth the wait. Excellent build quality and sooooo much better than the hive I bought locally in a hurry last year. I will definitely recommend your hives to any beekeeper - a quality product at an affordable price - thank you.

Excelent quality hives with detailed instructions at superb prices. What more could you ask for. Peter is always extremely helpful. I will continue exclusively buying Caddon Hives. Oh... And the queen excluders are amazing quality so much that Im replacing all my others with these.

Very happy with my frames and foundation.

A really excellent supplier for bee keeping equipment, competitive pricing and excellent customer service.
Have used them for years now and they don't let me down!

Top notch hive quality and kit items provided at a good price.

Also as the saying goes the way a company solves a mistake is often more important than no mistake happening.

Complete honesty was provided over the error and a fix for this was provided without delay.

10/10 service and customer care.

Will get future bee stuff from Caddon Hives!

Really good hive, sensible design, easy to put together & well made. Also looks very good, i tried making my own hive recently out of red cedar & found it not so easy to get hold of, pricey & prone to splitting. Ended up costing not much less than this hive, plus my time, & being less good.
Also came very quickly after ordering- about 3 days i think- which was very welcome since the reason i wanted it was to rehouse my bees, who were crammed into their original nuc box after being moved to make way for a swarm. Very cross with me, for the first time in our acquaintance, but have now quickly settled into their new quarters.

Fast, friendly and excellent service. Recommended.
Items beautifully packed. Pleasure to transact with a family business.

I called on the off chance that I would be able to speak to someone..on a Saturday, lockdown has meant I've lost my sense of time! I was lucky to speak to Peter who was brilliant, he explained what I needed to do and so ordered my hive. It's important to me to support a UK and family business that not only care for and about bees but also the environment.

My Hive arrived last week and its absolutely wonderful. The smell of the cedar wood as I opened the boxes was amazing, its made to such a high standard and packed with care. My next step is rehoming some fantastic bees and I know they will be extremely happy.

Thanks to Peter and all of his team!

These were my first hives and I spent ages comparing price and quality before going with Caddon, who had been recommended by a local beekeeper. I have to say I am delighted. I bought them in kit form and they arrived within three days. Excellent quality cedar and a joy to assemble. Pete quickly answered any queries I had. A small company that is well worth supporting.
