Torgau Hive
Suitable for 11 standard-sized frames in cold frames, the Torgau Hive is a classic among magazine hives, especially in eastern Germany.
Made from 20 mm thick and knot-free solid wood, glued and screwed in a solid and dimensionally stable quality. The frames have a sturdy rebate and two sturdy handle strips on the front and back.
If desired, the hive can also be used for beekeeping in the adapted brood chamber with a standard-sized other half frame. The external dimensions of the frames are approx. 45.5 x 43.5 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.
