Detailed Product Description
This Australian beehive is manufactured to precise standards, ensuring durability, ease of use, and optimal conditions for healthy, productive colonies. It is supplied as a complete set, ready for assembly.
Premium Knot-Free New Zealand Pine
The hive boxes are constructed from high-quality, 20mm thick New Zealand Pine, selected for its durability and knot-free clarity. This superior timber provides excellent insulation and a long service life. For customers seeking a more cost-effective option, we also offer customization with Fir wood.
- Material: Premium New Zealand Pine (Knot-Free)
- Timber Thickness: 20 mm
Hive Components
This standard set includes all the essential woodenware for a two-story hive:
- Migratory Lid: An assembled, metal-clad lid designed for durability and ease of transport.
- Double Full Depth Boxes: Two 10-frame, full-depth hive bodies (supers) shipped unassembled for economical freight.
- Solid Bottom Board: A sturdy, unassembled base providing a solid foundation for the hive.
Precision Joinery and Customization
Our hive boxes are manufactured with precision-cut joints for a strong, tight, and weather-resistant fit.
- Joint Options: We offer several styles to meet your specific needs, including Dovetail Joints (standard), Finger Joints, and Rebate Joints.
- Box Sizes: While the 10-frame model is standard, we also produce an 8-frame Australian beehive to suit various operational needs.
- 10-Frame Box Dimensions: 505 x 405 x 242 mm (Full Depth). WSP and Ideal sizes are also available.
The Australian Beehive Difference
This hive is designed according to Australian standards, which feature key differences from the American Langstroth style:
- The Lid: The Australian beehive utilizes a "migratory" lid. It sits flush with the hive body and does not have a telescoping overhang. This design is crucial for commercial beekeepers, as it allows hives to be stacked tightly together on pallets for efficient transport.
- The Bottom Board: The solid bottom board is a simple, robust design that provides a reduced entrance. This contrasts with the often larger, more complex landing area of typical American-style bottom boards.
Extensive Customization for Wholesale Orders
- Preservation: Hives can be ordered with professional wax dipping or painting services for maximum weather protection and longevity.
- Ventilation: Options include adding ventilation holes to the hive lids.
- Screened Bottom Board: A screened bottom board can be supplied as an alternative to the solid base, offering enhanced ventilation and integrated pest management capabilities.
-
Pre-drilled Holes: To significantly speed up your assembly process, hive bodies can be ordered with precision pre-drilled holes for nails or screws. This feature prevents wood splitting and ensures a strong, square build every time.
