Langstroth Hive Package, Including Bees

Langstroth hives are the standard rectangular beehives you see everywhere. We assemble and paint all of the hives here. They’re made of plantation grown radiata pine; the timber is 22 mm thick. Frames are handmade, with stainless steel wire, brass eyelets, and beeswax foundation.

In addition to the bees, the Langstroth hive package includes:

1. Two 8-frame timber boxes, fully assembled, and painted, $75 each
2. Timber lid, with Colourbond metal cover, $70
3. Timber base, cleats and risers, $65
4. Handmade timber frames with beeswax foundation (16), $11 each
5. Metal queen excluder, $23
6. Aerofast hive lock, $22

The cost of the hive is $506, and a 4-frame colony of bees, normally $240, is only $190 with the hive package. Total for both hive and bees is $696. The package can be booked with a $50 deposit. When you come to collect your bees they will already be in their new hive.
