Pine is a softwood with the ideal qualities needed for constructing beehives. Its rapid growth and comparatively lower cost makes it an attractive and popular option for beekeepers working within a smaller budget. Additionally, the mild pine aroma helps to minimise stress for the bees in the hive, and is a pleasant smell to be enjoyed by beekeepers. Made up of a brood box and two supers, your bees will have all the room they need to grow their colony and make their wax and honey, while remaining easy for you to access the frames in the supers. Want to get started right away? The queen excluder ensures you’ll be able to harvest the honey without killing off your colony, resulting in years of successful beekeeping. And you can protect your hive when it’s at its most vulnerable from wasps, hornets, and other bees by using the entrance reducer with 2 width sizes. Make your life easier by getting all the components in one order by adding the frames and foundation sheets bundle.
