Beehive composter Summary

Inspired by traditional beehives, and to compliment our beehive garden store, this composter looks great in any garden.
 

It is 22” square at the base and 35” high (externally) and approx 250 ltr capacity. The composter is made in five separate sections which simply stack together. The base has a removable door held closed with thumb turns. The lid is hinged. 

Our composter is made from 100% pre-treated timber. The sections are made from 1” thick timber and are screwed to 2” corner blocks to ensure that it gives years of service.

It can be finished externally with a choice of 8 colours from the  Ronseal Garden Paint range or purchased unpainted. 

Voted as one of the best composters available by the readers of House and Garden magazine.

This item may vary slightly from the photograph as it is a handmade product. 

As electronic equipment can display colours slightly differently, we recommend visiting a DIY outlet to ensure that the colour is as anticipated. We have tried our best to reproduce the colours as accurately as possible.

Review left on Etsy 02/24 - Antonia - 01 October 2024
Very like a previous compost bin I had before my house move that lasted over 20 years. This one is perhaps slightly better in its finish and elevated base. Not an eyesore like the round plastic ones! Very pleased with my purchase.

A joy to look at! - Eileen - 16 July 2021
Always wanted a beehive composter. Ordered from Dovetails and my order arrived quicker than expected. I couldn't be happier, very robust and Wild thyme colour is perfect. You can tell the pride that goes into making such a wonderful piece of garden furniture. Well worth the money and holds plenty of grass cuttings and vegetation. Everybody that sees it asks where I bought it. Highly recommend this environmentally friendly product.

Composter - Marion Hind - 30 August 2017
Dear Andrew I just wanted to say thank you for my bee hive composter received last week. It is beautifully made and will be an asset to my garden. It is in the process if being landscaped at the moment which will hopefully be completed this week - rain permitting. My new greenhouse arrived yesterday and is being installed on Friday so once that is up my bee hive will be placed appropriately in the "growing area". Once again thank you very much. The service and delivery were great (the courier thought it was a real bee hive!) and I will recommend you to anyone who would like one if your products. Best wishes Marion Hind

Composters received just before Christmas - Gillie Shaw - 01 January 2017
Andrew Dovetail beehive composter boxes arrived a short while ago as an early Christmas present to myself and I absolutely love them. They are easy to use with the hinged lid and chain and the shape and proportions are very pleasing. Looks easy when you have successfully done it but I imagine they took a bit of getting right. And of course the beehive shape is one of those feel good shapes that feed straight away into some tap root in our souls of peacefulness and calm which is a lovely atmosphere for the veg garden. So am am delighted and working out if I can afford a third! Happy new year to you and congrats again. Kindest regards Gillie Shaw
