These two versions of Homebee Honeyhive Kits are a great entry point into the traditional country pursuit of bee-keeping and as each honey bee hive comes complete with a full information booklet, bee-keeping starter kit and details of bee-keeping courses, equipment and bee suppliers, you'll be on your way to collecting your own fresh, home-made honey in no time!
The Homebee Honeyhive Kits are available in both Top Bar and traditional 'WBC' frames and foundation form and are manufactured from FSC certified timber in that distinctive, 'Olde English' hexagonal style but it's not only looks and back-up support that make these Homebee Honeyhive Kits so popular; they provide a 'minimum intervention', family-friendly bee-keeping experience when the honey is only taken after the winter from excess.
Ideal as a gift, these traditional beehives are simple to assemble (one screwdriver and three screws), are double skinned to provide winter insulation and feature a detachable sealed timber roof. Each Homebee Honeyhive Kit panel measures 27cm in width and the hives stand 80cm in height (including legs), providing both an attractive, interesting, educational and fully working addition to your garden.
