About this deal

If you are not satisfied with purchase or if you have any other problems with the frames you receive, please hesitate to contact us and we will try our best to rectify the problem as soon as possible. It's not uncommon around here to run brood and a half, but I can't help feeling that's the most awkward of all possible options. Our 14” x 12” National frames are used in British National brood boxes and come in packs of 10, assembled and pre-wired with foundation embedded. The treatment is highly effective in keeping the structure strong, but will need topping up over time to keep the wood in optimum condition. I did try them for a couple of years and decided against and prefer the management of 2 Nationals (or WBC's for that matter).

Top bars are 7/8 wide, Hoffman self spacing sidebars are 1 3/8 wide at top tapering to 1 1/16 at the bottom. Then you need to make sure any extractor can take that size of frame, they will cost a bit more, but there are some advantages. Please note timber is a natural product and prone to changes in appearance, including some movement, warping and splitting, particularly in extreme weather conditions. Before using your hive, we recommend using an insect friendly wood preserver and weather outside for a week prior to use. Chose from our plain wood frames in White, Black or Grey or Brushed gun metals, blacks, silvers or whites.This gives the hives great durability, able to withstand hive tools and the usual beehive inspections. We have also eliminated the use of integrated feeders that cause issues like disturbance to the nest when feeding, brace comb, and drowning bees.

There was a long piece in a BBKA magazine 2 or 3 years ago extolling the virtues of brood and a half. Each component is one piece moulded so there are no weak joints and very minimal assembly needed before you add your bees.We work very closing with the NBU (National Bee Unit) and APHA (Animal and Plant Agency) to guarantee you disease free bees that are a pleasure to handle. This means we can anchor the wood closer to help stop twisting with the shrinking and expanding of the timber cladding.
