LANGSTROTH S L O V E N I A N B E E H I V E S This newly designed and manufactured hive allows all users of Langstroth size frames to have the advantages of the well known Slovenian AZ hive. This means that in many parts of the world beekeepers will be able to house their colonies in hives where the lifting of heavy boxes can become a thing of the past and where the bees can be examined at a convenient height without bending. Additionally, the hives are ideal for keeping bees in shelters or bee houses where extra protection can be given to them. This means that on opening a hive less heat is likely to escape from the colony, the bees are exposed to less direct sunlight and shielded from cold winds. Indeed, almost under any weather conditions the colonies can be worked despite the weather which is extremely important when time related examinations need to be done as in the cases of swarm prevention and queen rearing. Many colonies can be kept side by side, or on two levels, enabling beekeepers to have a large apiary within a very small space. The hives also give greater security to colonies than those free standing in an apiary. 14.00 Normal 0 21 false false false SL X-NONE X-NONE
