Long Langstroth Style Horizontal Top Bar Hive for Wholesale

Introducing the HONESTBEE Horizontal Langstroth Beehive, a revolutionary design that combines the ergonomic benefits of a top-bar hive with the universal compatibility of standard Langstroth frames. Expertly crafted from high-quality fir wood, this hive is engineered for beekeepers who prioritize ease of management, reduced physical strain, and colony health without sacrificing the convenience of conventional equipment.

Detailed Product Description

This horizontal beehive is meticulously designed to provide a durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing home for your colonies. It is an ideal solution for both expanding commercial operations and discerning hobbyists.

High-Quality Fir Wood Construction

The entire body of the hive is constructed from durable, 20mm thick fir wood. This natural material provides excellent insulation, helping the colony regulate temperature throughout the year. The precise joinery and solid construction ensure a long-lasting and robust structure. This model is supplied unassembled for efficient, cost-effective shipping and easy storage.

• Material: Fir Wood
• Timber Thickness: 20 mm

Ergonomic Horizontal Design

The standout feature of this beehive is its horizontal, waist-high configuration. Mounted on a sturdy A-frame stand, it brings all hive inspections to a comfortable working height. This innovative design eliminates the need to lift heavy supers, dramatically reducing back strain and making beekeeping more accessible and enjoyable.

Massive 30-Frame Capacity

The elongated single-story box is designed to hold up to 30 standard Langstroth full-depth frames. This immense capacity allows a strong colony to expand its brood nest and honey stores naturally, reducing swarming pressure and the need for frequent additions of equipment.

• Bee Box Dimensions: 1040mm (Length) x 520mm (Width)
• Capacity: Up to 30 Langstroth Full Depth Frames
• Please note: Frames are not included but can be supplied separately upon request.

Weather-Resistant and Functional Roof

The hive is topped with a durable, galvanized metal-clad roof that provides excellent protection against the elements. The roof is hinged for effortless, one-handed opening and is supported by sturdy chains, allowing for convenient, hands-free access during inspections.

Integrated Ventilation System

Proper ventilation is critical for colony health, and this beehive is designed with multiple options. It features two screened bottom vents with sliding wooden covers, allowing for adjustable airflow to control moisture and temperature. Additional circular vents are located on the gable ends for upper ventilation.

Key Advantages

• Ergonomic & Back-Saving: All hive management is done at waist level, eliminating the need for heavy lifting and making it one of the most user-friendly bee hives available.
