Crafted from beautifully durable Western Red Cedar, this National Beehive with a Gabled Roof is designed to provide an optimal environment for healthy and productive colonies. This complete hive kit includes frames and wax foundation, ensuring you have everything you need to get started.

Unlike other woods, cedar requires no chemical treatment, ensuring a safe and healthy home for your bees while withstanding the elements for years to come.
