Know before you buy
Yes, the internal frame structure is designed to be compatible with off-the-shelf 9⅛” wood frames, making it easy to integrate with your existing beekeeping supplies.
The hive is constructed from recycled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a durable, non-porous plastic that is naturally resistant to rot, moisture, and UV damage, ensuring it remains sturdy throughout the seasons.
The adjustable entrance door and ventilation bars allow you to fine-tune the airflow within the hive, which is essential for regulating internal temperature and humidity based on the changing needs of your bee colony.
Cleaning is straightforward because the non-porous HDPE material does not absorb debris or moisture. You can simply wipe it down or hose it off, which helps maintain a hygienic environment for your bees.
The tall legs are specifically designed to improve ergonomics, allowing you to inspect your hive at a more comfortable height without excessive bending or straining your back.
The hive features a lockable flat roof, which keeps the interior secure and protected from the elements while ensuring the lid stays firmly in place during high winds.
