Welcome
Congratulations on becoming an owner of Eco Bee Box (tm) modern
beekeeping equipment. You've made an excellent choice that will improve
your beekeeping experience.
Product Description
This Eco Bee Box (tm) comb box was developed as a replacement to extracted
spun uncapped honey. Each frame of honey can be harvested individually
and stored in a freezer until needed, to prevent crystallization. Harvesting
honey has never been so easy - cut from comb, drop into a baggy, squish
thoroughly, hang or suspend over collection container, pop holes in the
bottom of the baggy with a clean toothpick, let drain.
If this equipment is to be used for queen rearing, follow these steps. Remove
drawn comb that has eggs, larva with pools of royal jelly, and all the nurse
bees on that frame. Place into an Eco Bee Box Mini Urban Beehive and liquid
sugar feed, also adding protein patty. 3-5 days after separating frame from
Eco Bee Box Comb Box queen cells will appear.

Step 2 - Box Assembly
First assemble your box. Exterior glue is suggested.
Screws or staples will hold the box secured until the
glue drys. Paint or coat the exterior of the box for
external waterproofing
Step 3 - Center Support Assembly
Place a piece of thin surplus on the center
support in the groove as well. This groove
can also be left bare, or you can add a
piece of plastic foundation. Insert the center support.
Step 4 - Inside Frame Assembly
Assemble each frame with either staples,
nails or just exterior glue.
Step 5 - Priming Hive
Place a tornpiece of thin surplus on each frame.
You can secure this wax by slightly melting the
end and attaching it to the groove. You can also
drip beeswax candle wax to hold the thin surplus.
Ready to go.
