This is a brand new, unused, top-of-the-line set from Honey's House, a sliding-type Japanese honeybee stacked hive, perfect for beginners. An instruction manual is also included. Why not harvest rare Japanese honey from your own garden? Japanese honeybees prefer weathered boxes, so professionals sometimes start preparing a year in advance.

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 from Kumamoto Prefecture, with a thickness of 30mm, making it easier to deal with heat and cold. The wood is not charred to allow it to breathe and 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 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, making it easy to inspect the inside. The board usually has an entrance height of 6mm, and by turning the entrance board upside down, you can trap the honeybees, which is convenient for moving them. 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 handwork, but please understand this in advance. #JapaneseHoneybee #JapaneseHoneybees #Hive #WoodenBox #HoneysHouse #HoneysMansion #Honey #InsectCage #Hornet #Pollen #Beeswax #WesternHoneybee #Honey #Honey
