Here at HBS we love warre beekeepers! Some of our staff run warre hives alongside their langstroth hives, so don't be shy about contacting us to ask for advice.

This kit includes everything you need to start a warre hive:

  • The warre version of our mesh bottom board. By using a mesh-bottom base you are putting your best foot forward when it comes to managing small hive beetle.

  • 3 assembled boxes, made of plantation-grown New Zealand radiata pine and wax-dipped for longevity.

  • A wax-dipped pine quilt box, which helps regulate the temperature and humidity inside your warre hive.

  • 24 assembled warre frames. We recommend that you add wax foundation 'starter strips' to these frames. Should you require them, there are bottom bars included with these frames.

  • A stylish pigeon lid which will help to regulate temperature and humidity inside your warre hive.

Excellent product.Very well constructed and finished. Enables populating with bees immediately, and mine took to as if they had always lived there. Perhaps. There could have observing panels, but this would add to the cost, and if desired can be obtained with a hole saw and Perspex. hives for 40 years and th more natural approach enables me to add a dimension the way my grandfather kept his bees. I was also delighted with the way in which the order was filled and delivered.

Am delighted with the product and the efficient treatment of the order. I have kept langstroth hives for 40 years and welcome the “natural” approach the complete hive package offers. Very well constructed and provides all that’s required.(understandably except bees and quilt box contents). Order arrived in excellent condition over 300 kilometres away in under 40 hours of placing order.
