Visual and textual in harmony.

I can’t seem to find any when “googling “

I'm not sure what you mean by "young" in this context. It might mean recently made or a new design or a new beekeeper starting out on the path of enlightenment with pictures of their set up? The blogs section of this forum might help if you spend some time reading through the various threads.

As you might’ve guessed, English isn’t my native tongue.

So some clarification is in order.
By Young I mean the name. The name of the type of hive. Here’s a picture to illustrate. I’ve been told that this hive is called “Young” hive. I’m after as much history and illustration of this hive I can find. I’m also interested in bluebrints of it, so I can make it for my own.

Didnt see the link there! Thank you! Will be checking it out.

Looks more "ancient" than "young"...

Good luck

It’s ancient. From the middle of the 1800 to early 1900. That’s why I’m after as much info as I can. The hive is from a Norwegian museum. And it’s in dire need of renovating. So that’s myplan.

As you said, the internet doesn't seem to know of Young hives. Did the museum know of the name of the inventor? I presume it's an unusual name in Norway

Not usual no. Ok, guess I need to start there. Thanks!

Out of interest do you have pictures of the inside of the box? I'm intrigued as to whether it uses frames for comb, slats or if comb is attached to the underside of the lid or roof.

Have a look!

Looks very much like a Polish 'sentry box' hive as featured on Dave Cushman's site

Polish 'Sentry Box' Style Hive

Would it be something like this back in the days of Eva Crane. Scroll down and click the text for another picture. Norway

The smaller boxes would contain the honey frames for extraction.

Could it have been imported or copied from Ukraine?

The two with gable roofs in the top photo are near identical to the 'Polish' one featured on Cushman's site, I suspect that basic pattern was used over a large piece of the continent - including Scandinavia.
I suspect @jarmo henttu remembers using them when they were all the height of fashion

So this might be a sentry box hive from Poland? Which time period are we looking at?

 

[Anduril]

It looks as though it is based on the Einraumbeute German hive, now more commonly known as the modified golden hive. David Heaf has a book about this hive.

apparently they were used by Polish refugees during the war - also used in Slovakia and the Czech republic
