Rob Hunter left this review about The Beehive

Visited in Feb to find an impressive 9 hand pulls, all of which seemed to be in operation, with a split of 6 ales + 3 ciders. The ales were TT Landlord, Sunbeam Winter Special, Rat/Ossett Snow Rat, another Sunbeam ale (IPA), and I seem to have failed to note the sixth. The cider offerings were Rosie's Pig and a couple by Lilley's.

Inside there is lovely red leather cushioned banquette seating curving elegantly round the wall at the front, two fireplaces, old bare boards, stained glass windows, with a proper traditional feel.

In addition to the cask line-up, I spotted bottle and keg menus too.

No sign of food being offered, dogs are welcome, and I found the toilets to be nice and clean. This place is a little gem and well worth a visit.

An impressive building and despite the interior having been scraped back to the bare bones, quite impressive inside too. It was busy, just before five on a Saturday afternoon, and most people drinking cask beers from what I could see. A blackboard lists bottles and kegs, and there were six hand pumps on the bar, and a plethora of pump clips on display. I had a gold from Wylam, called Wylam Gold, which was very good (NBSS 3.5) and would be happy to come back here another time. This and Fanny's Ale House would make a decent double header at a quieter time of week perhaps, with maybe the Junction a few minutes walk towards Baildon added to the mix.

The above from a visit on 4th July this year. A revisit today found a reasonably good Old Peculier (NBSS 3 or 3.5) and a moderately good 3.4% pale from Northern Monk, overpriced at just 20p per pint less than the OP, and not a very good beer, despite being in ok condition (NBSS 2.5 to 3). Being pestered by the pub dog and receiving two top ups that left me with less beer than I had first go, led to a rethink, so the perhaps generous 7 in July becomes a 6 in August.
