All About This Company
More than 25 years ago, when Beeline Supplies Ltd first began, the business was only a re-seller of beekeeping equipment.
When it became apparent that it was becoming difficult to source a regular and consistent supply of good quality bee boxes, Brian decided to explore the possibility of manufacturing the wood ware, including bee boxes, floors, and hive mat rims himself. Beeline Supplies is now one of the largest manufacturers of bee boxes and other wood ware (except wooden frames), in New Zealand. Customers have told us that we produce the best bee boxes in New Zealand.
From our factory in Mosgiel, Otago, New Zealand, not only do we manufacture and supply to beekeepers around New Zealand, but we export bee boxes and other beekeeping equipment overseas. Wherever possible, we support Local and New Zealand businesses and buy New Zealand made to keep New Zealanders working.
Being a smaller business, Beeline Supplies Ltd are able to adapt and to be more creative and innovative in the products we produce to meet our customer's needs. We have made one-off products for specific customers and continue to invest in new technology and plant. We employ skilled and qualified staff to assist us.
As well, since 1999, Beeline Supplies has been selling Beeline Supplies plastic frames (formerly known as Southern Cross Plastic Frames), and single frame feeders produced from our own dies. More recently, we have had tooling made to produce our drip tray inserts and our top feeders. These quality products are all manufactured in New Zealand.
