Light weight & easy to take up and down ladders but durable and made to last. This plywood swarm trap holds 6 Layens frames. Catch just one swarm and it's paid for itself!

Easy to assemble with basic woodworking skills in approx :30 minutes for a fun DIY project. The frames are unassembled with 1-3/8" top bar width rather than the standard 1-1/2" because bees prefer a tighter brood space. Included are popsicle sticks as starter for the bees to draw natural comb rather than wax foundation.

A wood dowel, wire or fishing line can be run across the mid point of the frames for stability if used in an extractor. Recommended tools: air stapler, drill to cut entrance hole, T-50 hand stapler, Tight Bond 3 wood glue.

Natural unwashed lambs wool is an excellent way to insulate your bee hives. You can insulate the walls of a double walled hive, or put it inside a pillow case and use on top of the bars to cover the brood area in winter time.

You'll know by the way it feels that it's the real deal because it has an oily feel to it. This is the natural oil that will keep out moths, so be sure to never wash away this natural protection.

Better than organic because our honey bees are naturally managed without chemicals or sugar & corn syrup feed. Our little slice of heaven apiary is far away from any commercial big Ag farms too, so no pesticides or toxic sprays.

Each season brings a new color since weather conditions determine what the bees can forage throughout the year. Our honey is never heated, and has pollen and tiny amount of beeswax since we use a single pass medium strainer. You'll love the taste and texture of this amazing gift from the honey bees.

Some natural crystallization may occur. Simply place your honey jar into a warm pan of 115-f water for an hour to liquify.

Designed to accommodate a Standard 2x wall Layens hive with 20 frames. Easy to modify for a smaller hive by simply cutting the braces if desired.

Easy to put together in just minutes. This heavy duty Layens hive stand kit uses 4x4 pressure treated legs for superior strength and durability in all weather conditions and regular untreated dimensional lumber for the cross braces where the bees may come in contact.

This stand allows the standard Layens hive to extend over all sides by approx 1" so no rain water is allowed to pool up and seep into your hive.
