The Hive

The Hive strain is a sativa-leaning hybrid bred by Bloom Seed Co, crossing Honey Banana — itself a mix of Strawberry Banana and Honey Boo Boo — with Nirvana Seeds' Papaya. Released in August 2023 as feminized seeds, it's already carved out a reputation in the solventless extraction community, where hash rosin heads have taken a particular shine to its resin production. The bee-themed name nods to its Honey Banana parentage, and the aroma backs it up — expect waves of overripe tropical fruit, funky papaya pulp, and bright citrus peel layered over a dank, earthy base.

Fans of the strain often report a euphoric, uplifting onset that settles into a happy, clearheaded groove without locking you to the couch. Reviewers describe it as energetic enough to stay social or creative, with just enough physical relaxation to smooth out the edges. The buds themselves tend to run dense and resinous, which is part of why pheno hunting this one has become a thing — the right cut can be a standout. If you're into tropical-forward hybrids with legs, this one's worth tracking down.
