I'm listing this item because of the high demand for slatted floors. This is a brand new, unused Japanese honeybee hive, a sliding-type, stacked box style, 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: One top board, two stacking boxes, one entrance box, one entrance board, one bottom board, one slatted floor, and a part of the instruction manual. *Beeswax and masking tape will be gifted to those who purchase. Product Size: Top board: 33cm (length) x 33cm (width) x 1.2cm (thickness) 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, with a thickness of 30mm, making it easier to cope 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 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-shaped grid. Also, it is designed to allow easy passage of knives and other blades during honey extraction. The entrance box uses a sliding entrance board, allowing easy inspection of the inside. The board usually has an entrance height of 6mm, and by reversing the entrance board, you can confine the bees, which is convenient for moving the hive. Important Notes: Because wood is used, there may be knots, uneven grain, shifts due to expansion and contraction, and deviations of about ±2mm due to manual work.
