Kens Langstroth Bee Hive

Langstroth Bee Hive: In modern American beekeeping, a Langstroth hive is any vertically modular beehive that has the key features of vertically hung frames, a bottom board with an entrance for the bees, boxes containing frames for brood and honey, and an inner cover and top cap to provide weather protection.

The Langstroth hive includes a super box, queen excluder, and a Brood box. All the frames are waxed with natural wax from the honeycombs.

The Langstroth beehive uses a multi-layered structure and removable frames to encourage bees to build their hives in an orderly fashion and make it easy for beekeepers to harvest honey. The frames are designed to separate honeycombs as bees attach honeycombs to adjacent frames making it easier for beekeepers to manage the bees and honey collection effortlessly.

Our Langstroth beehives are wholly Kenyan-made using local material and are all fitted with 100 percent beeswax comb starters, and comb strips that are locally produced from beeswax coming from our local bees thus assuring quick colonization and free from foreign diseases transmitted from imported beeswax.
