Assembled Cedar National Beehive – Double Brood Version with Extras for Beginners

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

National hives are ideal for new beekeepers thanks to their single-walled design and extended frame lugs, which make inspections and frame handling easier and more secure. Pick Double Brood if you want easy splits and expansion.
