The 8 Frame Beeswax Coated Beehive, featuring 1 Deep Box and 2 Medium Boxes, is a high-quality hive configuration designed to promote the health and productivity of bee colonies. Constructed with boxes coated in natural beeswax, this hive provides additional protection and insulation, creating a more favorable environment for bees.
The Deep Box, also known as a brood box, is the larger of the three and offers ample space for the queen bee to lay eggs and for the development of brood. It serves as the primary area for bee colony expansion and reproduction.
The Medium Boxes, or honey supers, are shallower than the Deep Box and are primarily used for honey storage. Bees fill the frames in the Medium Boxes with honey, which beekeepers can then harvest for consumption or sale.
