This is a brand new, unused sliding-type Japanese honeybee stacked beehive, perfect for beginners. It comes with instructions. Why not harvest rare Japanese honey in your garden?

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 it to breathe and adjust the humidity inside. The goal is to maximize the bees' vitality by creating a more natural environment. A beehive 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 the 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 easy inspection of the inside. The board usually has a 6mm high entrance, and by reversing the entrance board, you can confine the bees, which is convenient for moving the hive. Important Notes: Please understand that due to the use of wood, there may be knots, uneven grain, shifts due to expansion and contraction, and deviations of about ±2mm due to manual work. #JapaneseHoneybee #JapaneseHoneybee #Beehive #WoodenBox #Honey'sHouse #Honey'sMansion #Honey #InsectCage #Hornet #Pollen #Beeswax #WesternHoneybee #Honey #Honey
