Once established and expanding, usually in their second year, the bees will need additional boxes - these can be added now as an Expansion Kit or purchased when the bees need them.

Choice of Roof
Treated with 2 coats of Wood Stain & Protect in your choice of colour.

For beginners we recommend the book..

All woodwork is knot free untreated 16mm solid timber - weather proofing wood treatment is recommended.

To make it easy we have carefully designed this kit to include all the essential items the beginner needs to start keeping bees - just choose a preferred glove size. The production of honey would not be expected in the first year so additional boxes and equipment are not needed to start - get them when the bees need them.
