This is a beehive with knots and cracks. Recommended for those who want a high-quality beehive at a low price. We are listing this because many people requested a slatted bottom board. This is a new, unused Japanese honeybee hive in a sliding, box-style design, perfect for beginners. It also comes with an instruction manual. Why not try harvesting rare Japanese honey in your own garden? Japanese honeybees prefer weathered boxes, so some professionals prepare them a year in advance. Product Contents 1 Top board, 2 Extension boxes, 1 Entrance box, 1 Entrance board, 1 Bottom board, 1 Slatted bottom board, 1 Instruction manual *Those who purchase will receive beeswax and tape as a gift. Product Dimensions Top board: 33cm (length) x 33cm (width) x 1.2cm (thickness) Extension 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 extension boxes and entrance box are made from Kumamoto cedar, with a thickness of 30mm, making them resistant to heat and cold. The wood is not charred to allow the material to breathe and regulate humidity inside. By creating a more natural environment, we aim to maximize the bees' vitality. A beehive that easily regulates humidity yields honey with higher sugar content. The comb foundation bars used in the extension boxes are shaved to 8mm and fitted. Our comb foundation bars are designed to be parallel, and the extension boxes are stacked so that the bars alternate horizontally and vertically. This minimizes the presence of bars that bees dislike while achieving an effect similar to a grid pattern. It also makes it easier to insert blades, such as knives, when harvesting honey. The entrance box features a sliding entrance board, allowing for easy inspection of the interior. The standard entrance height is 6mm. By flipping the entrance board upside down, you can confine the honeybees, making transportation convenient. Please Note As this product is made of wood, there may be slight variations in knots, wood grain, slight misalignments due to expansion and contraction, or manual assembly errors of approximately ±2mm. We appreciate your understanding in advance. #JapaneseHoneybee #JapaneseHoneybee #Beehive #WoodenBox #HoneysHouse #HoneysMansion #Honey #InsectCage #Hornet #Pollen #Beeswax #WesternHoneybee #Honey #Honey
