Product Information

The 14x12 Pent Garden Shed is constructed by our team of expert craftsmen using only the highest quality timber. Only once we are completely happy that the bees are ready to be hived and that the weather is suitable will we start to let them go out. The shed floor comes as standard with 18mm oriented strand board on 38 x 50 runners keeping the floor 2" off the ground.

Chose from our plain wood frames in White, Black or Grey or Brushed gun metals, blacks, silvers or whites. This DOES make a difference to uptake as otherwise it will cool down overnight and won't be taken down so quickly. This is 20% higher in density than competitor’s boxes, therefore offering higher durability and improved thermal properties.Also having just moved some double brood colonies I can't deny that they're pretty heavy, even in polystyrene. Not only have we improved the overall design, we have added a number of useful features which will distinguish our box from others available on the market. At any point after assembly the building has been in contact with any trees, plants or exterior walls which could allow moisture to penetrate the timber. Ensure any consignment note from the carrier is clearly marked ‘unexamined’ – deleting the words ‘in good condition’.

If not shifting hives about weight should be too much of an issue - a frame of brood doesnt weigh much.Nestled in the picturesque Cotswolds countryside, just on the outskirts of Gloucester, BS Honey Bees Ltd stands as the foremost specialist supplier and breeder of Buckfast Bees in National 5 / 6 Frame Nucs, as well as offering F1 Buckfast Queens and F1 Carniolan Queens.

There are other reasons which I'm not experienced enough to comment on but make sense to me such as helping expansion and lower likelyhood to swarm.I faced the same dilemma last year and after talking to various members of my local BKA decided on 14 x 12. The Optional Extra of fully pressure-treated V Lap timber is 16mm finished and being V Lap there is only a small V shape at the top of the cladding. Before using your hive, we recommend using an insect friendly wood preserver and weather outside for a week prior to use. These are a great size especially if you have a WBC and are looking for more brood space than the British Standard National allows.
