Description

The National Beehive is a high-quality, flat-pack beekeeping kit designed for beekeepers who want a durable and reliable hive. Crafted from first-grade, knot-free pinewood, this kit provides all the essential components needed to get your colony started. The unassembled design ensures easy transport and quick assembly.

Hive Components:

• Flat Roof with Metal Cover: The flat roof provides excellent protection against the weather. It features a metal cover for added durability and to help safeguard your hive from rain, wind, and other environmental factors.
• Varroa Mesh Floor with Wooden Entrance Block: The Varroa mesh floor helps with Varroa mite control by allowing mites to fall through and be collected below. The wooden entrance block helps you control the size of the hive entrance, ideal for colder months or when protecting the colony from predators.
• 2 Flat Packed Supers: These flat-packed supers provide space for honey storage and are easily assembled once received. They offer ample room for the bees to build comb and store honey for harvesting.
• Flat Packed Brood Box: The brood box is the main section of the hive where the queen will lay eggs and the colony will raise brood. It is designed to fit National-sized frames, ensuring your colony has the necessary space to grow and develop.
• Crown Board: The crown board helps to separate the brood box from the supers, ensuring proper ventilation and airflow throughout the hive.
• Plastic Queen Excluder: The queen excluder ensures that the queen remains in the brood box while worker bees are free to move between the supers. This helps prevent eggs from being laid in the honey storage areas, promoting efficient honey production.
• 2 Bee Escape: The bee escapes are a simple tool for helping bees move out of the supers when you’re ready to harvest honey. This allows for easier honey removal without disturbing the colony.

Additional Recommendation:

• External Treatment: We recommend that you externally treat your hive before use. This treatment will help to protect your hive from the elements, prolong its lifespan, and safeguard it against pests.
