Dadant US Vertikal Multi Hive
Suitable for up to 24 Dadant US Vertical frames, which when fitted together measure 482 x 285 mm Dadant modified/Dadant US. Spacious hive for rearing young queens or for building offshoots. In the 4 compartments, young colonies capable of overwintering grow up, which form a "common winter cluster" in the middle in terms of heat.
The 4 colonies fly in 4 different directions to prevent them from flying away and, if formed early enough, reach the strength required for self-sufficiency. If required, two frames can be removed and put together to form a Dadant US frame measuring 482 x 285 mm.
The additional attachment of a 4 honeycomb frame prevents the brood nests from becoming "honeyed" and allows honeycombs to be removed if necessary. The idea of the hive system is to develop young colonies into strong, healthy bees capable of overwintering.
All hive parts are made of solid wood up to 25 mm thick, knot-free, solidly glued and screwed.
The outer dimensions of the frames are approx. 60.5 x 60.5 cm.
Did you already know?
We only use untreated solid wood with all its natural properties and characteristics. The weather in the form of sun, rain and cold as well as fluctuating humidity affects all dried and sawn wood if it is not protected.
Our tip:
Paint the hives up to three times, roughening the surface with sandpaper between coats. Then refresh periodically depending on the condition and personal preference.
After the bees have moved in, the hives develop their own room climate. The temperature and humidity inside the hive differs from the climate outside. As a result, condensation can form under the lid, mold can form and the hive parts can crack. For better air circulation, we recommend raising the hive on Bee Hive Stands and removing the Sticky Boards after the Varroa check.
