Description

A complete, ready-to-go setup for new beekeepers, built around our food-grade polyethylene Thermo Hive. Thick insulated walls keep colonies warmer through winter and cooler in summer, so bees spend less energy regulating temperature and more building up the colony.

What's included in the hive

• 1 x 10-frame brood chamber, 2 x 10-frame supers, telescopic top, and bottom board
• Frames, foundation sheets, and a queen excluder
• Built-in ventilation, hive connectors, pollen trap, feeder, travel gate, bee escape board, and entrance reducer

• Food-grade, non-absorbent polyethylene: easy to clean, no painting or waxing, 30-year lifespan
• Telescopic lid keeps hives rain-tight; integrated hand grips and stackable boxes make handling easy
• Separate super entrances help reduce spring swarming
