Increase Kit: Lyson Assm

This Lyson beehive kit comes complete with everything you need to get going right away. You’ll save over the price of buying the pieces separately.

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 a double boiler and use a foam brush to lightly paint it on.)

The Lyson kit includes:

• Bottom board with varroa screen
• Mouse guard/entrance reducer/closure
• Two Assembled Deep Hive Bodies with Latches
• 20 Assembled Deep Frames*
• Two Assembled Medium Supers with Latches
• 20 Assembled Medium Frames*
• Queen Excluder*
• Cloth inner cover
• Outer Cover with 8 polystyrene plugs and 8 plastic venting plugs

*Denotes a kit component with options.

Please note: The bottom board is screwed to the bottom deep box, creating one unit that includes both bottom board and deep hive body.

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