All Mediums Kit: Lyson Assem

This is a Langstroth 10 frame beehive made of polystyrene and is manufactured by Lyson, in Poland. Having smaller brood chambers can mean more manageable colonies, but will require more brood chambers to equal a full size colony. We added a third medium super t serve this purpose. It comes fully assembled (all hive bodies, frames and supers are already assembled and ready to use).

When choosing your frame options, if you choose plastic we highly recommend applying extra beeswax on the frames. This increases the bees acceptance, and entices them to draw out faster. You can buy assembled frames with extra wax already put on, or if you have your own beeswax you can use that. Betterbee also sells beeswax that you can purchase to paint it on yourself. (melt in double boiler and use a foam brush to lightly paint it on.)

The Weight Lite Kit Includes:

• Over Cover with 8 polystyrene plugs and 8 plastic venting plugs
• Cloth inner cover
• Three Assembled Medium Supers with Latches (to use as Hive Bodies)
• 30 Assembled Medium Frames*
• Bottom board with removable tray for varroa testing and ventilation

* Denotes a kit component with options.

Your hive comes unpainted but Betterbee recommends painting with an exterior grade latex paint.

Please note: the bottom board can be screwed to the bottom box if the beekeeper prefers. (screws not included)
