Our 5 Frame Deep Hive Kit is handmade out of clear pine lumber. We individually select the clearest lumber we can to build the boxes. The 5 frame deep box is a great addition to any bee yard with uses such as swarm traps, queen rearing, splitting hives, or starting packages.

Uses:

Queen Rearing

We recommend everyone in our Black Fork Bee Club have a 5 frame deep hive kit setup, this works great as a method of raising queens, either to sell or to have on hand in preparation for the untimely accident of rolling or smashing your queen while working your hive.

New Hive/Split

The 5 frame deep hive kit is a great way to start off a new hive or splitting an existing hive. We have found through our practice that the hive likes to stay tighter, by starting off a new hive or a split in a 5 frame box the hive seems to get established quicker.

Swarm Catcher

With this small lightweight form factor of the 5 frame box you are able to hang this from a tree limb or set it up on something off the ground with a little bit of attractant in it and it works great as a swarm trap. We have found that a good use for those unused deer stands work great for a swarm catcher platform
