Munster Hive

Donated by Queen Right Colonies, Ltd.

We think this is our best ornate hive ever, it has 56 mini nuc frames which would equal a total of 28 deep frames, it is all enter connected making one large hive. The center is a compartment for tools, smoker, gloves, lunch, etc. It stands on 4 treated 4X6 legs, the pictured roof is of solid copper, but can be shake singles like the smaller side pitches. This pictured Munster Hive will be one of several items auctioned off at the 100th LCBA anniversary Oct. 5th and is open to all beekeepers and as always with LCBA, it is FREE, but reservations and menu choice must be made in advance, and reservations close August 1, see information above for reservations. Someone will take this beautiful hive home and needless to say, it is one of a kind!

Observation Hive

Donated by Anonymous

This two frame observation hive has been created for those people who like to display their "special" bees with the opulence that they deserve. The inside is 100% mahogany with sheets of clear acrylic that can be replaced if necessary. The exterior is locally sourced Ohio gummy cherry and figured walnut with a polished oil finish. The doors move effortlessly with heavy brass ice-box hardware that also latches the bees securely inside, and a very special live edge cherry base was harvested many years ago from a Knox county fallen tree.
