Description

This National Hive with Frames and Foundation is a complete, high-quality beekeeping kit designed for beekeepers who want to create a thriving, productive colony. Made from first-grade, knot-free pinewood, this flat pack hive provides everything you need to set up your hive, from the brood box to the super frames, and even the queen excluder.

Hive Components:

• Roof with Breather Vents and Galvanized Steel Cover: The roof is designed to protect your bees from the elements. Equipped with breather vents, it promotes proper ventilation for the hive, preventing moisture buildup. The galvanized steel cover adds durability and extra protection against harsh weather conditions.
• Varroa Mesh Floor with Inspection Drawer and Twin-Setting Entrance Block: The Varroa mesh floor aids in controlling Varroa mites by allowing them to fall through the mesh and collect in the inspection drawer. The twin-setting entrance block can be adjusted for different hive conditions, helping to manage airflow and protect your colony from pests.
• Brood Box with Built-in Wooden Frame Runners: The brood box provides ample space for your bees to raise brood and store honey. The wooden frame runners are built-in for easy frame insertion and removal, ensuring a hassle-free experience during inspections.
• 2 Super Boxes with Built-in Wooden Frame Runners: The two super boxes offer additional space for honey storage. Like the brood box, these boxes come with built-in wooden frame runners, making it easy to assemble and maintain your hive.
• B.S National Crown Board: The crown board serves as a dividing layer between the brood box and the supers, and it is essential for managing airflow within the hive.
• Plastic Queen Excluder: The queen excluder ensures that the queen stays in the brood box, while worker bees are free to move between the supers. This helps ensure efficient honey production by preventing the queen from laying eggs in the honey storage areas.
• 10 Brood Frames and Foundation Sheets: The 10 brood frames and foundation sheets are designed to provide the bees with a surface to build their comb and raise brood. The wax foundation sheets give the bees a head start, helping them build comb more quickly and efficiently.
• 20 Super Frames and Foundation Sheets: The 20 super frames and foundation sheets are perfect for honey storage. They allow your bees to build the necessary comb in the supers for honey production.

Additional Recommendation:

• External Treatment: We recommend that you externally treat your hive prior to use. This treatment will help protect your hive from the elements, pests, and damage, ensuring a longer lifespan for your hive.
