The Progressive Hive
Available at www.BeeProgressive.com
“An Alternative and Sustainable Hiving Approach for MAXIMUM Bee Health”
The Progressive Hive is designed to provide the perfect environment for the health and development of the colony, and to minimize the impact from hive management and interaction that results results in a weakening of bee health.
The bee nest naturally unfolds in one room,without multiple boxes and frame levels – no heavy lifting of supers any more. The hive comes with tall frames, which allow for more natural comb growth pattern and the beveled top bars of the frames enable bees to grow natural comb.
The protection of the brood nest has the highest priority. A wax cloth covers the top of the frames and allows partial opening of the hive, and provides further protection of the inner climate of the hive. The bees respond by staying calm, since the inner climate is not deeply disturbed.
Available with either a screened bottom board or a solid bottom board.
