Hi, welcome to our Top Bar Bee Hive page. I hand make all of these myself so you
get the quality you deserve. We think our designs are the best offered anywhere! This Bee Hive has a pitched Roof design
to help shed water. The roof design along with the top vents creates a natural convection to release the huge moisture
build up created by the bees fanning the honey to dry it. Lid is made with a Cedar Shake Roof. The long lasting thick
wood roof helps keep the hive temperature even and the best part is the roof design eliminates the need for an
unsightly cinder block or rock on top. Body colors available are dark green, light blue or unfinished pine if you
wanted to paint it yourself. Just let us know what color you want when ordering.
This hive is approx.
48" long and 34" high. Bottom board is a full 7" wide. We've found the wider bottoms
on our hives allow the bees to build more natural comb. This is also the best possible length for usability.
Don't be fooled by the 36" long hives with the 5-1/2" bottoms for sale out there, they are too
small.
30-1-3/8 "pre-waxed/splined top bars with a follower board bar are included.
These hives are ready to add bees, no extra stuff needed.
The all important 2" aluminum moisture release vents are on
the top of the lid on each end. Don't buy hives without proper venting designs.
Insides are left
untreated natural solid pine.
5-Bee Access holes are on the front side or can be relocated
to your preference.
Fully assembled except you will have to install the legs with bolts provided
