No, this starter kit includes the hive boxes and structural components only. You will need to purchase frames and foundation sheets separately.
Yes, the Langstroth design is the industry standard and widely recommended for beginners due to its ease of management and wide availability of educational resources.
Clean them as needed with a soft, damp cloth if wax or propolis obscures your view, but be careful not to use harsh chemical cleaners.
Yes, the wood comes with a beeswax coating, which provides basic weather protection.
The total weight of the set is 20.6 kg.
Yes, because it follows the standard Langstroth design, you can easily stack additional standard deep or medium supers on top as your colony grows.
Check for debris or propolis buildup in the window channels and clear it with a hive tool.
Ensure all joints are free of debris and double-check the assembly orientation using the included diagrams.
Ensure the hive is slightly tilted forward to allow condensation to run out of the entrance rather than pooling inside.
Setting up the hive involves assembling the wooden components using standard tools. Ensure the hive is placed on a level surface, preferably on a hive stand to prevent direct contact with the ground, which helps with moisture control.
Because this kit adheres to Langstroth dimensions, it is highly compatible with standard frames and foundations purchased separately. For care, keep the exterior clear of heavy vegetation and periodically check that the entrance reducer is clean to ensure proper ventilation. The beeswax coating provides a strong foundation, but you may choose to apply a fresh coat of non-toxic, bee-safe paint or wax every few years to extend the longevity of the wood.
