Even though there are 3 main varieties of beekeeping hives made use of around the globe, we are going to concentrate on the Langstroth hive since it is the easiest type to get and maintain in the United States.
Let's start with the base. Many hive makers like to use cypress for the base, which is a quite suitable wood since it resists weathering and rotting far better than other sorts of wood.
The hive stand is one of the most critical parts of the whole beehive structure due to the fact it separates the hive body from the moist ground and also helps ventilate the hive. The hive stand also assists out foraging bees by elevating the entrance points and exit points. Non-elevated hives can have entrance and exit points blocked by growing grass.
Your hive will come with an entrance reducer - this wooden cleat is used in the cooler months of the year to assist preserve the warmth inside the hive. Note: For the warmer months of the year, the entrance reducer should certainly only be utilised for colonies that have been newly installed in the hive.
