Product Information

We are a team of passionate beekeepers supplying beginner beekeepers and fellow bee farmers across the nation. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Please note - All of our products must be installed on a level solid base, the usual but not limited to methods are either concrete, paving slabs (flags), a wooden frame. Our new feeder design also features a removable plug, which can provide access to fondant placed inside the feeder. We have also made the roof 100% thicker than competitor’s allowing the highest point of heat loss to be vastly reduced.It's not uncommon around here to run brood and a half, but I can't help feeling that's the most awkward of all possible options. The shed roof comes as standard with 11mm oriented strand board and is covered in Granite Grey Mineral Slate Ultrapol SBS Polyester Mineral Roofing Felt, and is finished off with matching fascias. I faced the same dilemma last year and after talking to various members of my local BKA decided on 14 x 12. Once they have started drawing comb, put the queen on her brood frame in the top box and continue to feed for, say, another week; her presence will encourage the bees to do more upstairs. This gives the hives great durability, able to withstand hive tools and the usual beehive inspections.

Any timber has been cut, pierced, or drilled without a subsequent application of approved cut-end treatment.Our new 6 frame nuc doubles up as a 2-way mating nuc, the feeder has also been designed to be suitable for liquid sugar and solid fondant. and to be honest the 14 x 12 box is usually big enough to take even the biggest colony and the most fecund of queens- by the time they have got to full size you have supers on anyway and they have the extra space they need . You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Put the 14x12 box with frames and foundation on top of the national brood (they have the same 46cm square foot print) and then wait for them to move up into the 14x*12.

We have also reduced the issue of frames being propolised down by incorporating a frame runner, whilst maintaining sufficient top bee space reducing the risk of crushing bees. The Shed can be installed (down to the discretion of the main fitter) however any warranty included with the product will become void. If you are not satisfied with purchase or if you have any other problems with the frames you receive, please hesitate to contact us and we will try our best to rectify the problem as soon as possible. Nestled in the picturesque Cotswolds countryside, just on the outskirts of Gloucester, BS Honey Bees Ltd stands as the foremost specialist supplier and breeder of Buckfast Bees in National 5 / 6 Frame Nucs, as well as offering F1 Buckfast Queens and F1 Carniolan Queens.We have also eliminated the use of integrated feeders that cause issues like disturbance to the nest when feeding, brace comb, and drowning bees. Its a valid point that many extractors won't accept that size (though many will), but there are always ways around these things for the rare times they may be needed. Bees will generally build comb where you don't want it - under the deep frames - and you still have to get rid of them at some time which is why I would prefer to get the job done early as a Baily comb exchange rather than have shallower frames in the hive for some time. There may be an additional carriage charge for some heavy and bulky items to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and islands, Isle of Man and off-shore islands.

I inspect the uppermost box for swarming weekly, because they do the queen cells in top most brood box if they do them. Just insert the metal frame runners into the slots (provided) and give your hive a lick of paint and you are ready to go!I did try them for a couple of years and decided against and prefer the management of 2 Nationals (or WBC's for that matter). The shed floor comes as standard with 18mm oriented strand board on 38 x 50 runners keeping the floor 2" off the ground.
