New, unused sliding-type Japanese honeybee stacked beehive, perfect for beginners! Includes an instruction manual. Why not harvest rare Japanese honey in your garden?

Product Contents: Top board x 1, Stacking boxes x 4, Entrance box x 1, Entrance board x 1, Bottom board x 1, Instruction manual *We will give beeswax and masking tape as a gift to those who purchase. Product Size: Top board: 33cm (length) x 33cm (width) x 1.2cm (thickness) Stacking 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 stacking 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 beehive that easily adjusts humidity yields honey with higher sugar content. The comb-fall prevention rods used in the stacking boxes are shaved down to 8mm and fitted in. We use parallel comb-fall prevention rods, and the stacking boxes are stacked so that the rods are alternately vertical and horizontal. This reduces the number of rods the bees dislike while achieving an effect similar to a well-shaped structure. 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 see inside during inspections. The board usually has an entrance height of 6mm, and by turning the entrance board upside down, you can trap the honeybees, 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.
