We tested this design in our own bee yards. and just love it. 3 frames per second gives the queen more space to lay and makes it much easier to balance resources when they get overcrowded. It's also easier to catch the queen when she is on the sides or bottom of a section. They provide enough ventillation to prevent overheating in the hot summer and enough bees to keep the brood warm in the early spring.
Available in both deep and Medium frame models.
Does not include frames or telescoping cover.
