National Cedar Beehive with Pine Roof Fully Assembled
Complete National Cedar Beehive, Good Quality Varroa floor, Brood box, slotted steel Queen excluder, Two Supers, Universal Crown Board, and a Pine roof with metal cover. These are cedar hives, fully assembled, made up from second grade timber in the bee shed over the winter. Second grade timber has a specific definition, and has more knots and visual blemishes than first grade timber character! Cedar can be left unpainted and weathers to a natural grey finish, or they can be treated with an oil or water based paint. It is extremely durable and naturally rot resistant. The hive is fully assembled, using waterproof glue and nails. I use Pine roofs, because they are heavier than cedar and withstand high winds in winter. The Varroa floor is very good quality, with a durable wipe clean insert, and entrance block. The universal crown board is deeper on one side than the other to allow space for varroa treatment and feeding. Any questions please ask. Collection preferred, but I will deliver, or meet up, within about 25 miles of Bristol. Beekeeper of 50+ years experience downsizing!
