A family business, built on a better idea.
Nuplas Apiarist Supplies started with a single question: why are we still making beehives out of timber? It rots. It warps. It needs painting, sanding, and constant replacement. There had to be a better way.
So we built one. From our factory in Swan Hill, Victoria, we precision-mold high-density polyethylene hive components that are maintenance-free, UV-stabilized, BPA-free, and built to last decades — not years.
OUR HISTORY
Two decades in the making
Founded in Swan Hill
Nuplas Group opened in Swan Hill, manufacturing custom plastic solutions for the Australian construction industry. Two decades of know-how starts here.
Into the hive
We turn that expertise to beekeeping. The first Nuplas hive components roll off the line — engineered to fix what timber never could.
A full range, nationwide
Boxes, bases, lids, frames. The range fills out and Nuplas gear reaches beekeepers in every state and territory.
Beekeepers ourselves
We start running our own commercial hives. Every product now gets tested the way our customers use it — in the field, at scale, season after season.
Australian-made, worldwide
Our components start shipping to the United States. Made in Swan Hill. Trusted abroad.
Australia's leading UV-stabilised polymer hive brand
Over 10,000 beekeepers trust Nuplas. We're still in Swan Hill, still family-run, and still obsessed with making the best hive equipment on the market.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Our values
Quality Without Compromise
Every component that leaves our Swan Hill facility is inspected against strict tolerances — boxes that stack square, lids that seat properly. If it's not right, it doesn't get boxed.
Made for Australian Conditions
We design and test in the same harsh environment our customers work in — from the tropical north to frosty southern winters. UV-stabilised to handle decades of Australian sun.
Supporting the Industry
We back Australian beekeeping the best way we know how — by manufacturing quality gear onshore. Local production means reliable supply, honest prices, and no waiting on imports.
