This 40-framed long hive is for 2 separate colonies and can be made in 3 different frame sizes and constructed from English cedar grown in Cirencester.
- National (most popular)
- 14x12
- Langstroth
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. Made from English cedar that we mill and season at the workshop.

Please note:
After a lot of research and customer feedback, we no longer supply our hives with queen excluders or dummy boards. These are not needed in long hives as the colony will naturally keep the honey stores and the brood separate. With standard stacked hives, the queen moves up the hive to where it's warmer, this does not happen in a long hive.
Frames and foundation are not included but can be purchased ready and assembled from our store here
