Fully assembled Langstroth starter hive with solid floor, reversible door, 2 x 10-frame brood / deep super bodies, frames and Australian-style roof. Our beehives are manufactured in small factories in Greece using sustainably sourced pine from Austria and the Czech Republic. Solid floor made from tongue and grooved pine boards. Reversible door that can close the hive for moving or provide a good-sized entrance. Two brood / deep super boxes featuring metal frame rails and hand holds on all four sides. Adding a queen excluder (not included) will enable one of these to be used as a super. 20 assembled frames (no foundation or wire). Australian style roof with 4 mesh-covered ventilation slots and galvanised steel covering. We supply these hives as they come from the factory, and they will need some minor preparation (filling and sanding) before painting or varnishing. They are made to be functional rather than decorative, though with very little work a perfect finish can be obtained. We believe that the quality of materials used is most important. Please look carefully at our photos as these are typical of the hive you will receive. Langstroth hives are by far the most popular standard around the world and the simplest to construct. They are therefore the perfect choice for beginners and experienced beekeepers alike. Large stocks always available. Brood Box 20″ x 16 1/2″ x 9 5/8 high (507mm x 420mm x 245mm high). Board thickness 3/4 (20mm). Floor 2 1/2 (65mm) high. Roof 2 1/2 (65mm) high. Overall height of double hive 24 1/2 (620mm).
