This is a great option for those who want a high-quality, affordable beehive, as there's no problem with bees nesting in a hive with knots and cracks. This is a new, unused, sliding-type Japanese honeybee stacked hive, perfect for beginners. An instruction manual is also included. Why not harvest rare Japanese honey in your garden? Japanese honeybees prefer weathered boxes, so professionals sometimes prepare them a year in advance. Product Contents: One top board, two stacking boxes, one entrance box, one entrance board, one bottom board, and an instruction manual. *Those who purchase will receive beeswax and masking tape as a gift. Product Size: Top board: 33cm long x 33cm wide x 1.2cm thick Stacking 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 stacking boxes and entrance box use cedar wood from Kumamoto Prefecture, and are 30mm thick, making it easier to cope with heat and cold. The wood is not burnt cedar to allow it to breathe and adjust the humidity inside. By creating a more natural environment, the aim is to maximize the bees' vitality. A beehive that easily adjusts humidity yields honey with a higher sugar content. The comb-fall prevention rods used in the stacking boxes are shaved down to 8mm and fitted in. We use parallel comb-fall prevention rods, and the stacking 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 shape. Also, it is a shape that makes it easy to pass a knife or other blade when harvesting honey. The entrance box uses a sliding entrance board, allowing you to easily see inside during inspections. The board usually has a 6mm high entrance, and by turning the entrance board upside down, you can trap the honeybees, making it 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 #JapaneseHoneybees #Beehive #WoodenBox #Honey'sHouse #Honey'sMansion #Honey #InsectCage #Hornet #Pollen #Beeswax #WesternHoneybee #Honey #Honey
