BeeHappy was founded in 2017 on a smallholding in Assagay, KwaZulu Natal. The company is run by myself, Dylan Stephen ably assisted by my wife Keyla Stephen, and Raine Solomon, co-founder.
I was fortunate enough to be living next to Wood Forum, a furniture factory, and was given the opportunity to learn the carpentry trade from Garth Palmer. After dabbling in a few wood projects for friends and family. I was asked to make up a sample beehive for Assagay Honey Farm, that had lost their carpenter. And the rest is history. My love for nature and wood-working came together.

Protecting nature, one hive at a time!
Recycling timber is the environmentally friendliest form of timber production where supplies of discarded wooden structures and crates are plentiful.We have saved these crates and given them a new lease in life, a new purpose to help save the bees and our planet from deforestation.
All our hives and frames are made from reclaimed timber and the aluminium lids are from re-purposed printing press sheets. So should you find a blemish or two, just know that you are helping save a tree or two.
Thank you!
