The SkogHive Beekeeping Bundle pairs a 7-frame automatic cedar flow hive with a super lifter jack, letting you harvest honey and inspect your colony without heavy lifting or hive disruption. Everything you need for a complete, modern beekeeping setup — from your first harvest to your hundredth inspection. What's in the bundle ① SkogHive 7-Frame Automatic Flow Hive (Cedar) 7 × Flow frames Brood box + super box Gabled cedar roof Queen excluder + screen board 7 × harvest tubes + harvest key Full assembly hardware & English manual ② Flow Super Lifter (Hive Jack) Super Lifter main unit 8 × load point screws Custom carry bag Compatible with SkogHive, Langstroth, UK National & Dadant hives Why these two work together Every beekeeper faces two recurring challenges: harvesting the honey and inspecting the brood box. The Flow Hive solves the first — you collect fresh honey by turning a key, with zero disruption to the colony. The Super Lifter solves the second — a full super box can weigh over 40 lbs, and lifting it cleanly without squashing bees is the most physically demanding part of any hive inspection. The Lifter's mechanical arm takes the strain, holds the box steady while you inspect, and lowers it back gently when you're done. Together, they cover the entire beekeeping experience from harvest to health check — and make it accessible to anyone, regardless of age or physical ability. Key features Tap-to-harvest — no extractor needed Insert the harvest key, turn, and watch golden honey flow straight into your jar in under 20 minutes per frame. No smoker, no hive disassembly, no mess. The bees barely notice. 7-frame capacity for high-volume yields Nearly double the harvest output of a 4-frame setup. The larger colony supported by 7 frames means more honey per cycle — ideal if you want consistent, meaningful harvests rather than a trickle. Premium wax-dipped western red cedar Naturally weather-resistant, antimicrobial, and chemical-free. The wax-dipping treatment provides year-round insulation and moisture resistance — trusted by beekeepers from Alaska winters to Florida summers. Estimated lifespan: 10+ years with standard maintenance. Super Lifter — lift up to 2 deep boxes Attaches to any hive in minutes using the included load point screws. The mechanical arm holds the super steady while both your hands are free to inspect. Folds flat into its carry bag when done — portable enough to share across multiple hives. Observation windows Check honey fill levels and colony health through built-in windows without ever opening the lid. Less disturbance means a calmer, more productive colony. Compatible with all major hive types The Super Lifter works with SkogHive, Langstroth, UK National, and Dadant hives — supporting widths up to 7 Flow Frames (10 Langstroth frames). One lifter covers your entire apiary. Who this bundle is for First-time beekeepers who want a complete, no-compromise setup from day one Experienced apiarists looking to reduce physical strain during inspections Anyone managing multiple hives who needs a portable lifting solution Beekeepers with back or shoulder concerns — the Lifter is frequently cited as the most ergonomic upgrade in modern beekeeping Frequently asked questions Do I need any beekeeping experience to get started? Not at all. The automatic flow system removes the need for extraction equipment or prior harvesting experience. The hive ships with step-by-step instructions, and video tutorials and customer support are available from day one. Will uncapped honey spill when I lift the super with the Lifter? No. The Super Lifter rotates the box in the same vertical plane it already sits in. Honey only spills if a frame is tilted sideways — which this design prevents. Your honey stays in the cells throughout the inspection. Does the Super Lifter work with hive brands I might add later? Yes. It's compatible with Langstroth, UK National, and Dadant hives in addition to SkogHive — supporting widths up to 7 Flow Frames (10 Langstroth frames). One lifter works across your whole apiary. How do I maintain the cedar hive long-term? Apply exterior oil or stain every 12–24 months. Flow frames can be rinsed with warm water between harvests — no chemicals needed. Estimated hive lifespan with standard maintenance is 10+ years. Does this hive work in cold climates? Yes. Wax-dipped western red cedar provides natural insulation and moisture resistance. SkogHive is used successfully across all 50 US states, including the Northeast and Midwest in winter. What bees do I need, and where do I get them? Most beginners start with a nucleus colony (nuc) or a package of bees from a local supplier or beekeeping association. The hive is compatible with standard western honey bees. We recommend connecting with your local beekeeping club for sourcing advice. Care & maintenance Cedar hive: Western red cedar is naturally weather-resistant. Apply a coat of exterior oil or stain every 12–24 months. Flow frames can be rinsed with warm water between harvests — no chemicals or special equipment needed. Super Lifter: Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use and store in the included carry bag. Shipping & returns Ships within 1–2 business days from our US, Germany, and Australia warehouses.
