8-Frame Hive Configuration for Honey Production

Last crawled date: 4 years, 6 months ago

Bottom of hive is closed with screened bottom board with built-in slatted rack. Arrangement of 8-frame hive components for use during honey production. Bottom two supers are for brood chamber, a queen excluder is placed on top of brood supers, then entrance rim, each additional super is slid back for additional upper entrances and ventilation. Small opening in back of top brood super allows drones to escape brood nest. If holes in super are not desired other inventive ways can be used to allow drones to exit brood chamber. As soon as honey flow ends supers can be realigned to eliminate excess entrance areas. #8frame #configuration #honey #production #upper_entrances
