What it is

Apimaye USA is a first-party U.S. beekeeping supply shop in Phoenix, Arizona. Its About Us page describes Kaftan LLC as a family company, based in Phoenix, that has brought Apimaye insulated beehives to U.S. beekeepers since 2015, after partnering with Yildirim Plastik, the maker of the hives. The official Shopify storefront (apimaye-usa.com) sells assembled 10-frame Ergo insulated hive sets, supers, 7-frame NUC hives, frames and foundation, feeders, beekeeping supplies, honey storage, vaporizers, and parts, with on-page prices and an Add to cart flow to /cart. This listing is for the supply shop with an official cart, not a local dealer from the store locator, the Facebook group, or a club.

FAQ

Q: Where is the shop, and when is it open?
A: The Contact Us page and site footer put Kaftan LLC / Apimaye USA at 317 S. 9th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85007, email [email protected], phone 480-648-8385. Hours printed on Contact Us: Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM MST (Arizona time). The same page and the Shipping page say local pickup at the Phoenix warehouse is by appointment; the Shipping page asks you to call 480-648-8385 before heading there and notes you can also pay by credit card at the warehouse. Confirm live hours and book pickup before visiting.

Q: Does it have an online store and cart?
A: Yes. apimaye-usa.com runs a Shopify first-party shop on the business’s own domain, with collection pages, product pages with Add to cart, and a cart at /cart (HTTP 200; empty when nothing was added). Prices are shown in USD. The home page also advertises complete hive sets from $265, free shipping on every hive set, and assembled, ready-to-use equipment.

Q: What do hive sets cost?
A: Examples as listed 2026-11-11, for the white Ergo 10-frame sets at the Regular price shown as the default (no add-on frames): Single Brood Box Beehive Set $265.00 (one insulated deep brood box; the page calls this a starting set for a nuc, a split, or an added hive); Double Brood Box Beehive Set $395.00 (two insulated deeps; the page calls this its recommended set for new beekeepers); Honey Maker Beehive Set $495.00 (one deep plus two medium supers); Honey & Brood Beehive Set $620.00 (the matching larger white set at that price). Those product pages also offer entrance-color choices, optional frames and foundation, and on some sets a Dual Feeder (+$15), and they say the sets are also available in tan. Prices change; check the live pages.

Q: How does shipping work?
A: The Shipping page offers free ground shipping on Apimaye products over $50 to the lower 48 states and D.C., says products in stock ship within 2 business days, and names FedEx, UPS and USPS. It says most orders ship from the Phoenix, Arizona warehouse, and that some products also ship from a warehouse in Robbinsville, New Jersey when that is faster or cheaper. Larger orders may arrive in several boxes, possibly a day or two apart. The page asks for a street address rather than a PO, APO or FPO box, quotes Alaska, Hawaii and Canada shipping separately by email, and says it is not able to ship to other countries at this time. Read the live Shipping page and Shipping policy before ordering; no purchase was made for this listing.

Q: What is the warranty or return policy?
A: The Warranty, Returns & Refunds page says products manufactured by Apimaye have a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects (repair, replacement or refund, with photos and proof of purchase emailed to [email protected]). Items made by other companies that the shop also sells are described as covered by those makers’ own warranties. Unused items that have not been introduced to bees may be returned within 30 days of delivery; the shop says it emails a prepaid return label, deducts the label cost if you changed your mind, and processes the refund after the items arrive at the Phoenix warehouse. It says it cannot accept returns of products that have been introduced to bees. Cancel-before-shipment refunds are described if you email before the order ships. Read the live warranty and refund pages before ordering.

Q: Is this an official or affiliated listing?
A: Neither. Beekeeping Plaza is not affiliated with Apimaye USA, Kaftan LLC, or Yildirim Plastik. No purchase, cart-add or contact was made; pages were only checked for an HTTP 200. Arizona already has a Southern Arizona Beekeepers Local clubs entry (Tucson); this is a separate Phoenix supply shop with its own first-party cart. The site also lists independent dealers on the store locator and a public Facebook group; those are not listed separately here.
