What's Included
This comprehensive starter kit provides all the essential components for a fully functional hive:
- Hive Stand: A sturdy foundation to elevate and protect your hive from moisture and pests.
- Bottom Board: Provides a solid base for the hive and aids in proper ventilation.
- Double Brood Boxes with Plastic Foundation: Ample space for brood rearing and colony growth, with durable plastic foundation for reliable comb-building.
- Metal Queen Excluder: Keeps the queen confined to the brood chamber while allowing worker bees to access honey supers.
- Honey Super with Plastic Frames: Plenty of room for honey storage, ensuring a productive colony.
- Inner Cover and Telescoping Lid: Offers insulation, ventilation, and weather protection for your hive.
Standard vs. Wax-Dipped Options
The standard kit is ideal for beekeepers looking for a traditional, cost-effective setup. For enhanced durability and faster colony acceptance, the wax-dipped kit features components treated with a protective coating of natural beeswax. This wax treatment not only extends the lifespan of the hive but also provides a more inviting environment for your bees, encouraging comb-building and colony establishment.
8-Frame vs. 10-Frame
The 8-frame option is lightweight and easier to handle, making it ideal for those who prefer a more compact hive. The 10-frame option, on the other hand, offers increased capacity for brood and honey production, making it a great choice for maximizing your yield.
