Winter is the perfect time to prepare for the upcoming 2015 beekeeping season. Purchase a complete top bar hive. Thanks for supporting small scale beekeeping business and bees. Some specific information about the hive: 1. 100% Western red cedar. Cedar is the perfect durable hive material. While it costs more, the natural oils help to guarantee that your cedar hive will last for many beekeeping seasons. Most people tend to use pine because of its low cost and availability but pine is prone to warping and rotting. 2. No glue is used during construction in order to reduce any chemicals that the bees may come in contact with. Only screws, raw lumber only, no paint or stain. 3. All hive materials are provided in order to have a successful and functional beehive, these include: - 42" long hive body - Complete set of 30 top bars (20" long x 1 3/8 wide x 7/8" tall) with wedge comb guides. These guides help keep combs perfectly straight - 1 follower board - Bee entrance is 3/8 wide by 6" long. This size has been proven to be a perfect entrance size, large enough to let the drone bees pass through and small enough so that mice or any other intruders cannot enter. - Viewing window (38" x 6") with latch, so you can easily see the bees at work without disturbing them The top bar hive is shipped completely assembled, no assembly is required. Additional materials that are not provided but may also be purchased: Hive roof ($80) and hive stand ($50) plus shipping. For cost efficiency, instead of purchasing a roof, many people just lay a piece of zinc, tin or plywood on top of the hive bars. For a hive stand, people opt to use bricks, boards, or saw horses. The hive is a Les Crowder design which has been heavily researched and proven successful throughout many parts of the world.
