Product Contents One top board, two stacking boxes, one entrance box, one entrance board, one bottom board, one slatted floor, and one instruction manual. *We will give beeswax and masking tape as a gift to those who purchase. 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 from Kumamoto Prefecture, and are 30mm thick, making them resistant to heat and cold. The wood is not burnt cedar to allow the wood to breathe and easily adjust the humidity inside. By creating a more natural environment, the aim is to maximize the vitality of the bees. Beehives that easily adjust humidity produce honey with a higher sugar content. The comb-fall prevention rods used in the stacking boxes are shaved down to 8mm and fitted in place. 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 see inside during inspections. The board usually has an entrance height of 6mm, and by turning the entrance board upside down, you can trap the honeybees, making it convenient for moving the hive. Important Notice Because wood is used, there may be knots, uneven grain, shifts due to expansion and contraction, and deviations of about ±2mm due to handwork, so please understand. #JapaneseHoneybees #JapaneseHoneybee #Beehive #WoodenBox #Honey'sHouse #Honey'sMansion #Honey #InsectCage #Hornet #Pollen #Beeswax #WesternHoneybee #Honey #Honey
