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 sometimes 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 long x 33cm wide x 1.2cm thick 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 and fitted to 8mm. We use parallel comb-fall prevention rods and stack the boxes 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-shaped structure. 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 confine the bees, which is 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.
