8F Full Depth Wooden Beehive – Brood plus Supers, Hot Wax Dipped & Painted
A complete 8-frame full depth wooden beehive, ready to go
Brood box, super, bottom board and vented lid – all assembled, hot wax dipped and painted, so the hive can go straight into the apiary. Start with one super and add more as the colony builds up.
22mm New Zealand pine, secured with screws
The boxes are prime, knot-free seasoned New Zealand pine, 22mm thick, with accurately machined finger joint corners secured by 40 galvanised steel screws – not nails or staples – and four hand grips make a full box easier to lift.
Hot wax dipped, then painted
The brood box and full depth supers are hot wax dipped, then triple painted while still hot: the wax penetrates the timber to repel moisture and reduce the risk of rot, and the paint adds a durable finish against weather and UV.
Marine ply bottom board
A fully assembled marine ply base with solid cleats and wood risers, high-temperature wax dipped for longevity.
Migratory lid with vents
The commercial design migratory wax dipped and painted cover incorporates a Galvabond metal top and four vents.
