I'm listing this item due to popular demand for slatted floors. This is a brand new, unused, sliding-type Japanese honeybee hive, perfect for beginners. An instruction manual is also included. Why not harvest rare Japanese honey in your own garden? Japanese honeybees prefer weathered boxes, so professionals often start preparing a year in advance. Product Contents: Top board x 1, Super boxes x 2, Entrance box x 1, Entrance board x 1, Bottom board x 1, Slatted floor x 1, Instruction manual *Beeswax and masking tape will be given as a gift to those who purchase. Product Size: Top board: 33cm (length) x 33cm (width) x 1.2cm (thickness) Super box: Outer dimensions 33cm x 33cm, Inner dimensions 27cm x 27cm, Height 15cm Entrance box: Outer dimensions 36cm x 33cm, Inner dimensions 27cm x 27cm, Height 13cm Product Features: The super boxes and entrance box use cedar wood from Kumamoto Prefecture, with a thickness of 30mm, making it easier to deal with heat and cold. The wood is not burnt cedar to allow the wood to breathe and easily adjust the humidity inside. The goal is to maximize the bees' vitality by creating a more natural environment. A hive that easily adjusts humidity yields honey with higher sugar content. The comb-fall prevention rods used in the super boxes are shaved down to 8mm and fitted in. We use parallel comb-fall prevention rods, and the super boxes are stacked so that the rods are alternately vertical and horizontal. This reduces the number of rods that bees dislike while achieving an effect similar to a well-shaped structure. Also, it is designed to allow easy passage of knives and other blades during honey harvesting. The entrance box uses a sliding entrance board, allowing you to easily see inside during inspections. The board usually has an entrance height of 6mm, and by reversing the entrance board, you can confine the honeybees, which is convenient for moving the hive. Important Notes: Because wood is used, there may be knots, uneven grain, and deviations due to expansion and contraction, as well as deviations of about ±2mm due to handwork, but please understand this in advance. #JapaneseHoneybee #JapaneseHoney #Hive #WoodenBox #Honey'sHouse #Honey'sApartment #Honey #InsectCage #Hornet #Pollen #Beeswax #WesternHoneybee #Honey #Honey
