5 Frames
of Italian Bees in a 10 Frame Hive Box
with 5 blank frames for room to grow
These are commercial grade
hive boxes with screwed down tops for easy removal and screened bottom board
and will have closed entrances for
safe transport. The hives will have 5 frames installed with 5 empty blank
frames for the bees to expand the next.
Hives will be treated for Varroa* Mites prior to pickup
dates.
* Varroa Destructor - (Varroa spp.) is an external parasitic mite that
attacks the honey bees and is considered the number one cause of colony
collapse.
Each hive comes with a mated and laying Italian Queen and
5 frames of
bees consisting of a
balanced mix of brood and food. The hives
will be about half full of bees and half blank frames, which means they will
not require an additional 10 frame box as soon. Adding another
brood box to the top of these or in the future is recommended as they will
eventually need room to expand and grow.
We offer Additional Boxes with new blank
frames that can be added to your order (see below) and ready for pickup with your bees.
We also offer a basic Beekeeper Starter
Kit at a discount. Add a kit to your order if you do not already have
supplies to work bees. The kit contains a top quality vented jacket with
fencing hood, a pair of goat skin leather gauntlet style beekeeper gloves, a
hive tool and a smoker.
