The Northern Style
(10 Frame)
$229.00
“The Northern Style” hive is perfect for beekeeping in states with long winters. A colder climate shortens the beekeeping season which means you can’t open the hive to add boxes early in the year. For this reason, it’s recommended to have two dedicated Amish-made brood boxes. “The Northern Style” set up gives your queen plenty of room to lay her spring brood in. The first and second supers would then be dedicated to honey production.

Why Choose Busy Bees ‘N’ More Hives?
In the pursuit of discovering durably crafted Amish-made beehives, Busy Bees ‘N’ More traveled the countryside of Ohio for just the right woodworkers.
Throughout American history, the Amish have built their name to be akin to authentic artisanship. They’ve stood the test of time and passed on their genuine expertise from generation to generation. Now known for their high-quality woodwork, the Amish create meticulously crafted works of art.
In today’s marketplace, you’d be hard-pressed to find products that have the integrity, precision, and long-lasting value that the Amish provide. Instead, you’ll find the market has run rampant with cheap imported products that have been made to sell, not to be used.
These hives are made in the USA from Eastern White Pines that were once sourced for creating log cabins and housing the pioneers of America — the Amish now use it to house your bees. Regionally and responsibly sourced from Michigan and Pennsylvania, we guarantee your new beehive’s lumber has been quality-checked and will be a beautiful showpiece in your yard for years to come.
