Aunt Bea's Backyard Beehives Shipped Fully Assembled, As Pictured, And Ready To Use A Revolutionary Top Bar Design (Patent Pending)   The hive measures 33 inches long by 12 inches high by 15 inches wide and includes 20 top bars with 1 additional top bar provided. Other items included are 3 corks for use in the entrance holes, and a one quart exterior feeder platform. (Quart mason jars are not supplied in shipped packages) The Starter Kit is completed with the addition of a veiled beekeeping jacket, goatskin gloves, smoker, hive tool and a bee brush. (Please indicate jacket and glove size when ordering) The hive body is constructed from 1 inch pine and is assembled using premium decking screws and stainless steel hardware. The hive is shipped fully constructed and ready to use. The pine body is weatherproofed using a natural mix of raw flax seed oil and bees wax. The top to protect the hive interior from the elements is constructed of plywood, pine and is completely covered with acrylic flashing to protect the wood from water damage. There is a 6" x 17" hinged door on one side of the hive body with a dual function. By turning a simple latch the outer door can be opened revealing a glass viewing window for the purpose of determining the health and well-being of the bees and the state of their hive development. Turning a second latch will release the hinged window frame which allows for entry into the hive body for such things as winter fondant feeding, removal of an empty queen cage or other reasons one might find to enter the hive without removal of the top which disturbs the natural temperature and pheromones of the hive. One hive end has 3 - 1" holes for bee access and ventilation. The provided corks can be installed in these holes to reduce access or to help maintain a moderated temperature during the colder months. One end also has a 1 quart liquid feeder capability located and filled from outside the hive body. When not in use the feeder ports have covers that protect the hive from inclement weather, robber bees or other pests. Some Top Bar Hive producers advertise lower prices for unassembled hives with expensive add ons. Aunt Bea's Top Bar Hive is shipped "Fully Assembled"  and "As Pictured"  for the price listed.
