A hive you can put bees in.
This is a whole bee hive, not one box. It has the floor, the boxes, the frames and the roof. You add the bees.
What you get
- Everything but the bees2 boxes, 20 frames, a floor at the bottom and a metal roof on top. You do not need to buy more wood to start.
- The roof is metalA metal top sheds rain and lasts. A bare wooden lid swells and warps.
- Langstroth sizeThe normal size in the United States, so any frames or boxes you buy later will fit.
- Windows in the sideYou can look in and see how the colony is doing without opening the hive and making the bees cross.
How to set it up
- Stand it on bricks or a low frame so it is off the wet ground.
- Point the door away from the wind and away from where people walk.
- Put your bees in the bottom box, then leave them alone for a week.
- Open it on a warm, still day. Cold or windy days make bees cross.
- Take honey from the top box only. The bottom box is their food for winter.

Do you need anything else?
You need bees, and you need something to stand the hive on. Bricks or a pallet work. You will also want a veil and a smoker before you open it. We do not sell those yet, so get them before your bees turn up.
When it comes
We pack it in 1 to 3 work days. It is then on the truck for 2 to 8 work days. It is heavy, so it comes on a pallet or in more than one box.
Not sure which size to start with? Email us. Most people start with two boxes and add more as the colony grows.
