Contract Pros Manufacturing started producing bee boxes in 1999 after a Beekeeper came to them and asked if they could make him some bee boxes. Using CNC equipment that they used for metal fabrication they utilized it for bee box manufacturing. For 25 years CPM has produced many hundreds of thousands of bee boxes. Recently CPM has rebranded and is now “Hive Bodies” and continues to manufacture the same high-quality bee boxes and assembly jigs.
