Introducing our 40-framed long hive, specially designed to accommodate two separate colonies! Crafted from top-quality English cedar that we grow in Cirencester, this hive is available in three different frame sizes to suit your preferences.
Our long hive is available in the National, 14x12, and Langstroth frame sizes, with the National being the most popular choice among beekeepers. If you're accustomed to working with National hives, you'll find the transition to our long National hive to be seamless. The hive features an extended brood body and standard frames, allowing for easy access to all parts of the hive.
At our workshop, we carefully mill and season the cedar to ensure that it's of the highest quality. You can be confident that your bees will thrive in our long hive, which is not only sturdy and durable, but also beautiful to look at. Order your hive today and give your bees a happy, healthy home!

The dimensions of our hive are as follows:
Width: 600mm (with a base width of 645mm) Length: 1800mm Height: 1000mm (measured from the top of the brood box)
Please be advised that we no longer provide queen excluders or dummy boards with our hives. Through extensive research and customer feedback, we have found that these accessories are not necessary for long hives. In this type of hive, the colony will naturally separate honey stores from the brood without any assistance. Unlike in standard stacked hives, the queen does not move up the hive in search of warmth.
Please note that frames and foundation are not included with the hive, but they can be purchased pre-assembled from our friends over at hobee they are of great quality and work perfectly with our hives.
