Budget Smith Hives - Made in Lincolnshire

Complete Smith Hive made from British Cedar from sustainable forests. Timber may have live knots and small splits. This sort of timber is commonly known in the beekeeping industry as ‘seconds’.

Available flat or ready assembled.
A great way to start beekeeping on a budget.

A popular hive, particularly in Scotland, developed by Mr. W. Smith of Innerleithen, Peebles.

It is well suited to the weather conditions in the North and ideal for moving to the heather moores. Mr Smith developed a small Langstroth hive, incorporating all the design features of that hive.  

The brood body and super frames of the Smith hive accomodate short lugged British Standard frames and the same size of foundation as the National and WBC.
