Product Overview
5 Frame Wax Dipped 2 Story Honey Bee Hive
Introducing our premium-quality 5 Frame Wax Dipped 2 Story Honey Bee Hive, meticulously crafted to suit both novice and seasoned beekeepers. This strongly built hive is not just a home for your bees; it's a sanctuary that supports their growth, honey production, and overall health.
Crafted from durable, high-quality wood and wax dipped twice for a protective coating, this 2 deep brood box bee hive is built to withstand the elements, ensuring it can be used for many seasons to come. The two coatings of wax helps in protecting the wood from the elements. The kit includes ten frames, offering ample space for a bee hive to begin establishing their colony immediately. The frames are made from premium wood and are designed to encourage the bees to build their comb, helping to secure the bees in their new home.
Bee Hive Features:
- Superior Construction: Made from high-quality materials, our hive is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. The wood is wax-dipped twice, offering additional waterproofing and durability, which ensures longevity and protection for the colony.
- Optimal Design for Health & Productivity: This 2-story design mimics the natural living conditions for bees, promoting healthier colonies. The structure supports efficient honey production, making it easy for the bees to store and for you to harvest.
- 5 Frame Capacity: Perfectly sized for growth and manageability, the 5 frame capacity allows for a healthy, thriving colony without overcrowding. Ideal for those looking to start their beekeeping journey or expand their apiary with manageable hive units, or have a smaller colony that needs a smaller space to start out in.
- Eco-friendly and Sustainable: By using a wax dipping process for preservation instead of chemicals, our hive promotes a more natural and sustainable beekeeping method. It's not only better for the bees but also for the environment.
- Easy to Install and Maintain: The hive comes already assembled and ready to use, right out of the box. The design allows for simple maintenance and inspection, reducing the stress on the colony and the keeper.
ALL NEW!! All of our bee hives come with your choice of Triple Waxed plastic one piece frames, or assembled wooden frames with Triple Waxed foundation! These frames / foundations have the heaviest coating of 100% beeswax available on the market!! The heavier coating of wax helps promote the bees acceptance, and the fresh, natural aroma of the wax helps encourage the bees to start working on it (prevents bees from leaving the hive after being installed, unlike lower grade foundations with less wax coating, found in cheaper hive setups). Your choice of all natural yellow, like beeswax, or black deep. Why settle for less?
Please note: The difference in colors has nothing to do with the bees acceptance; it all has to do with the preference of each beekeeper. The black foundation makes it easy to find out if your queen is alive and laying well: it is easy to see the small white eggs against the black background, so you don't have to see your queen to know that you have one. It also makes it easier to tell if you have a drone layer. Yellow foundation is more like actual beeswax, and it is quite often more preferred by a lot of our customers.
