Herold Magazin Hive
The Herold Magazin Hive was invented by Josef Herold from Schwarzach in the Black Forest, is suitable for 12 frames normal size in warm construction or 10 frames Zander in cold construction and is now one of the standard magazines, especially in Franconia.
The frames are made of 27 mm thick and knot-free solid wood, all magazine parts are glued and screwed to a solid quality.
The frames of the Herold Magazin Hive have a stable inner rebate at the bottom of approx. 47.7 x 39.5 cm, which ensures a secure stand, windproofness and safety against slipping during transport and tilt control. The outer dimensions (without handles) are approx. 49 x 43.4 cm. The two handles on the front sides of the hive ensure good and safe carrying comfort.

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.
