DESCRIPTION

The Two Queen Keeper - Double Brood Box from The Keeper's Hive provides beekeepers with the ability to manage two honey bee colonies in one hive without needing to lift heavy supers with every inspection. Why put two colonies in one hive? Because if you can keep both colonies strong they can make more honey than two individual hives put together!  


FEATURES
  • No-lift access to all of the frames in each brood chamber for bee-friendlier inspections
  • Removable frame guards protect the ends of the frames from propolis
  • Follower board allows for brood chamber size adjustment (2-8 frames)
  • Simplifies and expedites the highly effective Demaree method for swarm control
  • Smaller brood chamber volume is believed to help with thermoregulation, defense against pests, and more
  • Capable of producing hundreds of pounds of honey and great for raising queens
  • Check mite levels and apply treatments without any lifting
  • Each side can be overwintered on 8 or 13 deep frames, with easy emergency feeding
  • Tempered glass observation window over half of the brood chamber for assessing hive strength without disturbing any bees
  • Space under roof can be used for hive records, thermometer, insulation, and more
