This is a brand new, unused Japanese honeybee hive in a sliding, stacked box style, perfect for beginners. It comes with an instruction manual. Why not harvest rare Japanese honey in your garden? Japanese honeybees prefer weathered boxes, so professionals often start preparing a year in advance. Product Contents: Top board x 1, Stacked boxes x 2, Entrance box x 1, Entrance board x 1, Bottom board x 1, Instruction manual *Beeswax and masking tape will be gifted to purchasers. Product Dimensions: Top board: 33cm (length) x 33cm (width) x 1.2cm (thickness) Stacked box: Outer dimensions 33cm x 33cm, Inner dimensions 27cm x 27cm, Height 15cm Entrance box: Outer dimensions 36cm x 33cm, Inner dimensions 27cm x 27cm, Height 13cm Product Features: The stacked boxes and entrance box use cedar wood from Kumamoto Prefecture, with a thickness of 30mm, making it easier to cope with heat and cold. The wood is not burnt cedar to allow the wood to breathe and easily adjust the humidity inside. The goal is to maximize the bees' vitality by creating a more natural environment. A hive that easily adjusts humidity yields honey with higher sugar content. The comb-fall prevention rods used in the stacked boxes are shaved down to 8mm and fitted in. We use parallel comb-fall prevention rods, and the stacked boxes are layered so that the rods alternate vertically and horizontally. This reduces the number of rods that bees dislike while achieving an effect similar to a well shape. Also, it is a shape that makes it easy to pass a knife or other blade when harvesting honey. The entrance box uses a sliding entrance board, allowing you to easily inspect the inside. The board usually has an entrance height of 6mm, and by flipping the entrance board upside down, you can trap the bees, making it convenient for moving the hive. Important Notes: Because wood is used, there may be knots, uneven grain, and deviations due to expansion and contraction, as well as deviations of about ±2mm due to handwork.
