Long Hive
Description
This 40 framed long hive is for 2 separate colonies, and can be made in these 4 different frame sizes:
National (most popular)
14x12 (same as above but deeper)
Langstroth (popular with beefarmers)
Beekeepers that are used to working with National hives will feel very much at home with the long National hive because it consists simply of an extended brood body. It has standard frames, and all parts of the hive can be accessed easily. Colonies are managed by inserting queen excluders and division boards vertically, and different entrances at each end to achieve splits or accommodate two colonies in a single hive. Made from English cedar that we mill and season at the workshop.
