New Bee
Choices choices..... Being totally new to this beekeeping lark i was wondering which hive is best for a beginner,is there a hive which is an absolute must for beginners or is it simply a matter of personal preference.
I'd like to change from my commercial cedar hives to commercial or 14X12 poly but have as yet to find a suitable supplier of either.
I know one supplier does does a 14 X 12 poly by using an Eke but I would prefer a single box for the BB.
After trialling poly supers this year I am convinced that poly is the way to go, both for weight advantage and warmth.
Not to mention costs as well
If you type 'bee hive supplies' into google, you may find another firm who do sell single unit 14 x12's.
... and the larger footprint (which having said that, I find I need 520 x 500 stands for the MB poly Nat). Life is a compromise when it gets down to the finer details...
