Patent No.US D652,997 S
The Hex Hive® is designed to provide your honeybees with as natural an environment as possible - similar to a tree hollow. The hexagonal shape of each box replicates the bees’ own cell shape, giving them a familiar space, and the foundationless frames allow them to build their own comb – all the time.
Your Hex Hive® comes completely assembled, ready to go, with beeswax starter strips in the outside frames and a coating of beeswax on each foundationless frame. Just add bees!
A secret to healthier colonies:
Every super is made from cedar that's smooth on the outside and rough on the inside encouraging the honeybees to make a “propolis envelope” around the comb area. This creates a healthier, antiseptic environment that prevents diseases and parasites from entering the hive and inhibits bacterial growth.
The round entrance holes in each super are easily monitored by the guard bees and eliminate the need for entrance reducers.
Every frame in each super are technically removable, however the outer frames have been tacked to the box so they stay in place for the life of the Hex Hive®. The five center frames in each box can be removed and moved as desired.
