Langstroth Bee Hives For Sale
Langstroth 5 Frame, 8 Frame and 10 Frame Beehives & Components
Lappe's Bee Supply offers several different Langstroth bee hive configurations, in 5 frame, 8 frame size and 10 frame size, to fit each beekeepers needs and/or budget. Choose from:
- Single deep hive body Swarm Catching Special. These are perfect for those starting out on a small budget. This hive provides the bees with ample room to start out with, you would just need to purchase an additional deep hive body to add to them before the bees fill the box and frames with pulled comb, brood and feed. This hive also makes an excellent swarm catching hive, just like the name says! Simply place the hive wherever you would like to permanently keep the bees. The heavy wax coating on the frames will lure the scout bees directly to the hive, who will in turn bring the swarm back with them to move in. No worries either, in regards to them pulling "wacky" comb. Since the frames are already there, they will get right to work pulling the wax on the frames to provide the queen with a place to start laying. Also, wax moths and other pests are unable to damage the frames, unlike with actual beeswax foundation.
- Story and a half hobby bee hive comes with one deep brood box and one medium honey super.
- Two story beehive comes with two deep brood boxes.
- 6-5/8" Premium bee hive includes four medium honey super boxes.
- Premium bee hive includes two 9-5/8" deep hive bodies and two 6-5/8" medium honey supers. This hive is the most preferred by our customers, and is also the standard beehive choice in the bee keeping industry.
All of our bee hives have been crafted in the USA from the highest quality pine wood, and have been assembled and painted by us. In addition to all of the choices with the sizes of bee hives, we are also the only company in the industry to offer the beekeeper a choice of a solid bottom board or a screened bottom board, and a choice of color combinations for the TRIPLE WAX COATED plastic foundation in the frames with their hive set up! Choose from a black deep / white honey super color combo, a black deep / yellow honey super color combo, or an all natural yellow color combo. Also included with every hive is a two sided entrance reducer, notched wooden inner cover, telescoping top cover, assembled wooden frames, and comes complete, painted and assembled, and ready to use! Assembled wooden frames are made using Triple Extra Extreme wax coated plastic foundation, the best available on the market with the highest coating of 100% beeswax! Triple wax coated foundation is approved by honeybees everywhere!

Hive & Colony Maintenance

- Medications & Pest Control
Another important step in keeping bees is medications and pest control. Keep your bees healthy by feeding them and treating them for mites, and you can have a very strong hive when the honey flow starts. We are strong advocates for treating for Varroa mites every spring and every fall. Treating your honey bees is paramount to having a strong healthy hive that does well and can survive the winter. Many other issues that can happen with a hive, such as small hive beetles, can start because of the bees having an issue with Varroa mites. We offer several different successful methods of Varroa mite treatments, including Apivar, Oxalic Acid and Apiguard.
