Langstroth Barn Hive Topper

Description

The Barn Hive is an attractive and versatile beekeeping box. It fits on top of a standard Langstroth box and under a 5-frame nuc box. The Barn Hive has 3 compartments, or bays. The center bay holds 5 deep frames. Side bays act as in-hive feeder and storage.
