Assembled Cedar National Beginners Hive - 12 x 14 Brood Box with Eke

This complete British National beehive is purpose-built for beginner beekeepers. National hives are ideal for new starters thanks to their single-walled design and extended frame lugs, making inspections and frame handling easier and more stable.

We’ve specifically adapted this hive with beginner-friendly features to support an easy first season. It includes:

• Dummy boards for managing bee space
• Plastic frame spacers for consistent frame alignment
• A wooden queen excluder with correct bee space
• A feeding eke that doubles as a spare honey super

These thoughtful modifications make it easier to manage feeding, treatment, and honey production from day one. Whether you're taking one of our beekeeping courses or starting on your own, this hive provides a solid, confidence-building foundation.

All purchases of complete hives include direct beekeeping support from our own beekeeper, who brings over 50 years of hands-on experience in beekeeping and hive-making. Whether you're taking one of our courses or starting independently, we’re here to help your bees thrive.
