The Warre Bee Hive Kit is made from Cypress Timber. This species is one of the best types of wood for beehives for its longevity, lightness and insulation properties. They are made to order, so the hive is made especially for you. The standard thickness of the walls is 25mm. Other thickness if available can be made on request. Abbé Émile Warré (born in 1867) designed this beautiful type of beehive with the bees well being in mind. After 30 years experimenting with 350 hives of various designs he produced a hive that was bee-friendly and assured a surplus of honey for the beekeeper. The hives are built following Warre’s original design and specifications. If you are new to Warre beekeeping, there is a free book you can download online which covers the method, it is suitable to beginners. Please use the link below. The kit is unassembled and doesn’t include screws. The Warre Hive has always a minimum of two boxes. In spring and summer it needs a minimum of three boxes. Depending on the strength of the colony and nectar flow, a fourth or more boxes can be added. This Kit is comprised of a hive floor, two, three or four boxes with V-shaped top bars (please choose an option), quilt box and roof. I also include wire mesh, cotton fabric and wood shavings for the quit box, cotton hive mat for the top box and entrance reducer for winter. Instructions on how to assemble and prepare the hive for use is included. Very basic woodworking skills and tools are necessary for the assembly like clamps, drill and drill bit, square ruler, power drill and screw driver. If you would like to offer the bees a house that resembles their natural habitat and would like to interact with them in a non invasive way in a beautiful cooperation then the Warre hive is the best way to achieve this.
