10-Frame Double Deep Box Hive Kit

The 10-Frame Double Deep Box Hive Kit is a complete cypress brood chamber built from two 10-frame deep boxes, the setup most beekeepers start with and keep. The queen lays and the colony raises brood and stores winter food in these boxes, with medium honey supers added on top later.

How to use

The kit includes two deep brood boxes, one screened bottom board, one inner cover, one telescoping outer cover, one wooden entrance reducer, twenty deep frames, and twenty double-waxed deep foundation sheets.
