Top Bar Hive Ruetli ERB
With the demand for ecological and humane beekeeping, single-room hives are becoming popular again. They are among the oldest known beehives and offer an alternative and supplement to classic magazines or rear treatment hives. The Top Bar Hive Ruetli ERB single-room hive uses the "Dadant US high" frame size with external dimensions of 327 x 459 mm. Made of 20 mm thick and knot-free solid wood, glued and screwed in solid quality. The delivery includes two insulation panels, an external snap-on lid and an additional sheet metal cover. The base has a side ventilation grille.
There are 3 round, lockable ventilation holes at the front. The colony can be handled and fed through a working hatch at the back of the hive.
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.
