Beekeeping in France in the late 19th Century was on the decline and a beekeeper called Abbe Emile Warre (1867-1951) was convinced that a more simple and economic way of beekeeping was possible.
After many trials with a variety of hives he designed his own, the Warre Hive (also known as the Ruche Populaire or ‘Peoples Hive’).
Made from English Cedar, each hive comprises
- A floor with splayed legs and integral varroa screen and drawer
- Three brood bodies, each with eight plain top bars
- One brood body with observation panel and eight plain top bars
- A ventilated roof
- A deep quilt with hessian cover and woodshaving insulation
- A plain canvas quilt
- Timber is 24mm thick
- Nailed and glued together
