Japanese Honeybee Hive - Nihonmitsubachi - Japanese Honeybees - Stackable Hive - 5 Tier This hive uses naturally dried cedar wood. As a countermeasure against the recent heat, the bottom board can be replaced with either a standard type or a 6mm mesh wire type. Removing the bottom board allows for easy internal inspection with a smartphone, mirror, etc. The top section is made of plywood with slits, allowing for the placement of wax moth traps, Varroa mite treatments, and winter feeders. Six metal rods are included to prevent honeycomb collapse; instructions for their use are included in the letter containing beekeeping know-how. Although we strive for high precision in our manufacturing, please understand that due to the handmade nature and the warping of the wood, there may be slight dimensional variations.
