An improved modular beehive apparatus includes a hive body, a hive top, a hive bottom, a plurality of frames, and at least one securing means for securing at least the top to the body. In one embodiment of the present invention, the body is modular, thereby allowing multiple bodies to be stacked on top of one another. To ensure modularity, not only should an uppermost portion of the body be configured to mate with the top, but it should also be configured to mate with a lowermost portion of another body. To enhance integrity, the portions that mate (e.g., the top and body) should be “interlockable.” The more interlocking the structures are, the more secure the beehive apparatus becomes. Especially if the structures are secured together (e.g., using screws, etc.).
