Description
If you’re looking for an economical approach to beekeeping, look no further than the unassembled Top Bar Bee Hive Kit from Mann Lake.
Any beekeeper will give their colony an edge as these top-bar hives skip the heavy lifting or shuffling of frames around the apiary. Many beekeepers opt for a horizontal hive as an alternative to the Langstroth hive frame design for a more accessible bee space. When using top-bar hives, also called horizontal hives, beekeepers have a front-row seat to their colonies as they make new comb honey.
This hive style places a bar on top of the hive, ensuring that the hive body is designed to hold the entire hive together. As bees build their honey stores with new combs and grow the swarm, this horizontal top bar hive concept ensures the stability of your colony–from bees to drones, the laying queen, liquid honey, and propolis.
With these horizontal top bar hives, keeping bees safe, monitoring the brood nest, and preventing burr comb becomes easier, making harvest seasons more convenient.
Our new economy bee hives are the economic approach to beekeeping! Easy on your back and wallet, this horizontal beehive is built from precision-milled, durable pine. The top bars in this hive-style setup allow you to easily monitor honey production and check for hive bodies during winter months.
