Flat or Assembled:

Painted or Treated?:

Gas Struts on Roof:

Product Code: M9993

Description

The traditional English beehive made in long lasting english cedar. We have been making hives since early last century and have often been requested to provide them as a garden ornament. When Alan Titchmarsh requested an old WBC hive on Ground Force we knew the time was right to make them more widely available. The timber does not require any treatment and will weather very quickly and blend into your garden in a very short space of time. Hive is full size but is an ornament for your garden, it cannot be used for keeping bees. Can be purchased in kit form or ready assembled.
550mm square and 900mm high.

The timber is British Western Red Cedar and will contain knots, blemishes, the odd chip and generally has a distressed look.

The assembled hive can also be painted.  If you would like your hive painted please choose the assembled option.

Height: 900mm

There may be an additional carriage charge for some heavy and bulky items to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and islands, Isle of Man and off-shore islands.

Products may be sent out from multiple locations and therefore may arrive separately, but you won't incur additional delivery charges as a result.

Orders are sent out as quickly as possible but there may be occasional delays during the busy season or if an item is out of stock.  We will contact you if there is expected to be a significant delay with your order. 

Although we try to send out complete orders there will be occasions when some items are out of stock.  In these instances we may send your order in several parts.  You will not incur additional delivery charges as a result.

If you'd like to have items sent to separate UK addresses, please complete a separate order for each address. A separate delivery charge will be made for each address if applicable.
