This starter beehive kit includes a Langstroth hive body that is fully assembled and painted with environmentally friendly water-based and weather-resistant paint, for extra durability and protection from the elements. The hive body is constructed from Fir using dovetail joints, known for their strength and resistance ensuring a long-lasting structure. Included are a galvanized steel telescoping cover, inner cover, and solid wooden board.
Unlike many starter kits, this Langstroth beehive kit arrives fully assembled, saving you the time and effort of putting the hive together. This means you can start beekeeping right away; it is ready to use straight out of the box. All you need to do is add bees and begin your beekeeping. This convenience makes it an excellent choice for beginners.
Included within the kit are 5 cell tech frames that fit into the hive. The hive can hold 10 frames. Frames are made from black food grade plastic, dipped in 100% beeswax. Measuring 1-3/8″ x 19″ x 9-1/8″.
Our apparel is designed to enhance your safety during beekeeping activities. The premium cotton jacket shields the upper body, featuring elastic cuffs. A sturdy upright veil, attached to the jacket via a heavy-duty zipper, provides clear visibility in all directions. Leather gloves, extending over the elbows, offer both dexterity and added protection.
The hive tool, is the most versatile instrument used for prying apart frames that have been glued together by the bees' propolis and scraping off excess wax. Also included is a premium quality stainless steel smoker that is used to produce cool smoke that calms the bees, reducing their defensive responses and making it safer for the beekeeper to work within the hive.
