Welcome
Congratulations on becoming an owner of Eco Bee Box™ modern
beekeeping equipment. You've made an excellent choice that will
improve your beekeeping experience.
Product Description
This Eco Bee Box™ Bee Sanctuary Beehive was developed as a hybrid between the
American Langstroth hive and the Kenyan top-bar hive. This amazing hive has all the
great features of both unique methods of beekeeping. The Langstroth parts are
readily available compared to top-bar systems varying from hive to hive. Combining
these two system created the Horizontal Bee Sanctuary Beehive. . Fully compatible
with standard Langstroth equipment, but set in the top-bar fashion. Eco Bee Box took
the blending of the two methods and adapted the hive to hold Mini Urban Beehive
frames, a hand size frame that is natural with no plastics.
This hive has features of the Langstroth hive, such as the bottom and top entrance,
standard frames or comb frames, made to fit standard medium frames, separate inner
1/2 lids, expansion upwards with medium supers or the Eco Bee Box 26 Frame Comb
Box, reversible bottom, deep frame extensions for both a 4 frame or 10 frame size,
metal rabbets that can't fail, and more. The inter-grated top-bar features are the hive
is waist height rather than on the ground, natural thin surplus foundation instead of
plastics, supported comb with side bars for strength, horizontal system where bees
build across and leave old or capped comb behind, a top-cover that protects the
entire hive, can be divided with follower boards or honey walls to create further
colonies, and a new comb end bar that allows simple elastic band attaching of burr
comb, and more.
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.
