[H2] Deluxe Hives with Bees

These Hive Sets are ready to set on your hive stand and release the bees as soon as you get them to your designated apiary location. There is no need for any waiting period. Let them fly so they can orient and go find water and other resources in their new zip code.

Our complete Deluxe Honey Bee Hive Sets come complete with mated queens & a 5 frame Nuc of Bees installed into a 10 Frame Langstroth Style hive body with 3 new frames and a 1.5 gallon feeder. The bees are ready to release for flight upon arrival at their new location. During the growing season, they will soon need more growing room to prevent swarming.

Addition boxes can be ordered with any set to save a trip later for more boxes as the bees grow - (think of how fast kids can grow out of shoe sizes).

Specifications
Transport & Pickup
[H2] Ready for Transport

The hives are bound together with ratchet straps to hold the hive parts together for transport. The entrances are plugged and secured with the bees inside the night before pick up.

All parts are fully assembled and are either primed and painted with high quality exterior latex paint or hot wax dipped for protection from the elements.

The screened bottom board comes with an insert, called a "debris board", that slides into the bottom for winter or removed when needed for more ventilation... i.e. while transporting hives in warm weather.

The debris board will be held to the hive with the ratchet strap above the top cover for transport and should be stored indoors until fall when the night time temperatures fall into the 50s regularly, then inserted into the groove in the bottom board from the back side. This prevents cold air from blowing into the hive and allows the bees to keep the cluster warmer with less effort.

We will be happy to demonstrate this process when you pick up your hives.

These Hive Sets can be stacked for easy transport and are best kept in the shade when not moving.
