Assembled Cedar National Beehive – 12×14 Brood Version with Extras for Beginners (Flat or Gabled Roof)

This complete British National beehive is purpose-built for beginners, fully assembled in durable Western Red Cedar.

The 12×14 Jumbo National brood box provides extra space for the colony in a single deep box, making it an excellent alternative to double brood or 1½ brood setups. The larger frame size reduces the need for brood-and-a-half management and simplifies inspections.

🐝 Beginner-Friendly Features

• Dummy boards for managing bee space
• Plastic frame spacers for consistent frame alignment
• Wooden queen excluder with correct bee space
• Feeding eke that also doubles as a shallow honey super

These thoughtful additions make hive management, feeding, treatment, and honey production much easier during your first season.

All hive purchases include direct support from our experienced beekeeper (50+ years’ experience in hive-making and beekeeping). Whether you’re joining one of our courses or starting independently, we’ll help you succeed.
