Two galvanized steel bases (four legs in total, each independently adjustable) for making 1 sturdy hive stand. The stand for placing the hives can be easily made by connecting them with 2 beams with a maximum cross-section of 70x70 mm (standard garden beam size). The length of the beams ultimately determines how many hives you can place. The depth across the tapered support (where the hive sits) is 41 cm, and the height is adjustable from 24 - 58 cm. Thanks to the splayed legs, the stand can be set to slope forward for the ideal hive position and remains stable on uneven ground. We recommend 3 - 6 hives per stand, depending on the type and size of the hives. Also ideal for migratory beekeeping.

Note: Beams not included! This stand is basic quality. This means the finish could be better. 

Brown hive stand for 2 beehives from the Nicot brand. This stand measures 96 cm x 53 cm. A very robust PVC hive stand for use in the apiary.

Swarm indicator for the beehive. This indicator helps you act in time when your colony plans to swarm. The indicator must be mounted over an entrance opening of approximately 5.5 cm by 2 cm. (This size is standard on the BeeFun polystyrene hive components with entrance.) When the bees are preparing to swarm, they move energetically toward the light through the clear cup. Under pressure from the bees, the clear cup will come off the tube. This is the signal to take action to prevent swarming.

Sturdy yellow plastic pollen trap. As a beekeeper, you can easily collect pollen with this trap. The pollen trap is fitted with a collection tray with a small lip so the pollen always falls in neatly. It measures 37 cm wide, 7 cm deep and 7.8 cm high. The pollen trap can optionally be secured using a piece of foam rubber on the side and a strap around the collection tray (both not included).

This heavy-duty hinge is made from 1 mm thick stainless steel. Supplied with 16 matching stainless steel screws for easy installation. Because the entire hinge for the hive is made of stainless steel, it is corrosion-resistant, ensuring an exceptionally long service life.

This adjustable hive fastener and/or locking latch is ideal for fastening the various hive components together more securely. This is useful on lighter hives such as the Warré hive, but this latch also comes in handy on other beehives and for hive transport. Thanks to the screw thread, the fastener can be tightened or loosened.
