Description
Langstroth Bee hive – *shipping not included**
Wooden beehives with aluminium lid, floor, super, brood & all frames Wax starter Strips and wired. Treated with Waksol.
The mainstay of a beekeeper’s equipment. You need bee hives to keep bees.
There are many different ways of doing this, for example, using clay pots, logs, bark and so many more. The generally accepted beehive used conventionally is the Langstroth hive in South Africa.
Preference is paramount again. There are a few parts that make a conventional hive: the base, the brood, the super, 10 frames in each, a queen excluder (not included) and finally the lid.
Delivery or shipping is not included. If not collected from the shop in Centurion shipping will be applied.
We have had to increase our prices on both types of beehives since we have not had increases for over 2 years! Costs as you can imagine have risen. We cannot hold the previous prices any longer!
All of our beehives are treated with Waksol which is natural weather protection and also acts as a honeybee attractant when placed in direct sun.
Within 2 -3 days in a bee-friendly area, you should have a new colony move into one of our beehives in the spring/summer season! Weight as it stands = 18kg
All beehive frames are wired and have wax strips. The lid is actually covered with aluminium sheeting.
The Jackson beehive holds 25 FULL BROOD FRAMES!
This means it is equivalent to a full Langstroth plus an additional brood chamber which would be a value of at least R2500+
In order to provide the same amount of bee space to work in as the Jackson hive, the Langstroth beehive requires much more volume. The unique design of the Jackson hive makes it provide up to 2x the honey harvest than a hive.
The frames are made in such a way as not to break like Langstroth bee hives. Thus saving the beekeeper money in repairs and maintenance costs.
The weight of Jackson beehive at empty is 8Kg.
Unfortunately, the Jackson hive is discontinued as the supplier passed away in January 2012.
We can send Assembled beehives anywhere in South Africa within 5 working days by courier order with courier fee extra per hive.
Got the Hive you’re looking for? |
Start with a brood chamber, 10 frames with wax foundation, a base and a lid. One can go the whole hog and get the full deal. The complete assembled hive. REMEMBER!
The frames are all wired & have WAX STRIPS only!
You can expect to have foundation wax strips in both chambers, 10 frames per chamber. You can use creosote to treat your hives. You can also use Bitumen Silver Enamel paint. Or do both. Be sure to use the correct creosote as some do contain contaminants. We have opted for the Waksol treatment of our beehives. This means the beehives are dunked into a vat of melted beeswax and submerged for 3 minutes. The closest method to having a natural hive and the best as far as food-grade honey goes. Also, leave your hives to dry and air properly before transferring a colony into it. Frames usually come standard. You can make your own. Do not treat these. You can and it is recommended that you put wax foundation sheets on the frames. You can also use Pollen traps and feeders with your hives. Feeders are used while wintering your colonies. It is also important that your frames have wire. These offer support to the wax comb when fully built and assists when inspecting hives to stabilise the comb. A queen bee excluder is necessary for the bee Hive as it prevents the queen bee from moving between the brood and super chambers. Thus you have brood in the bottom chamber and surplus honey in the super chamber. Workers can move easily between the metal wire. The Jackson hive utilises a different approach when it comes to managing the brood and honey storage. The Jackson hive has shown up to 30% more yield however when compared to Langstroth hives.

Product is as advertised and as per photos on the website.
The disappointing part was the courier fees charged. I assumed the exorbitant R800 (Plus VAT – R920) courier charge was for overnight shipping, but shipment took 7 days to arrive with Courier Guy who’s charges actually amounted to only R386.40.

Hello Guy,
If the bee hive was on order then these are exceptionally pricey to ship especially if you are in an outlying areas.
The courier guy people operate on the volumetric weight and not just on the actual weight of a shipped item.
Apologies if the system applied a higher than expected price for your order. Please contact us in future directly if you have a courier price that seems to be too high and we can better assist you with the more exact quote on it before we ship it. and before you make payment. Or you can absolutely arrange your own collection.
Thanks for you order! Best beekeeping!
