This is a great option for those who want a high-quality, affordable beehive, as there's no problem with bees nesting in a hive with knots and cracks. This is a new, unused, sliding-type Japanese honeybee stacked hive, perfect for beginners. An instruction manual is also included. Why not harvest rare Japanese honey in your garden? Japanese honeybees prefer weathered boxes, so professionals start preparing a year in advance. Product Contents: One top board, two stacking boxes, one entrance box, one entrance board, one bottom board, and an instruction manual. *Those who purchase will receive beeswax and masking tape as a gift. 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 from Kumamoto Prefecture and are 30mm thick, making them resistant to heat and cold. The wood is not burnt cedar to allow it 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 place. 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 that bees dislike while achieving an effect similar to a well shape. Also, it is designed to allow easy passage of knives and other blades during honey harvesting. The entrance box uses a sliding entrance board, allowing easy inspection of the inside. The board usually has a 6mm high entrance, and by reversing the entrance board, you can trap the bees, making it convenient for moving the hive. Important Notes: Because wood is used, there may be knots, uneven grain, shifts due to expansion and contraction, and deviations of about ±2mm due to handwork.
