8F WSP Wooden Beehive – Brood plus Supers, Hot Wax Dipped & Painted
A complete 8-frame WSP 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 rebated corners, glued and screwed with galvanised steel screws – not nails or staples – and four hand grips make a full box easier to lift.
Hot wax dipped, then painted
The boxes are hot wax dipped and then painted: 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.
