The hive that teaches on the inside what bees do on the outside
If you've ever tried explaining to a group of children how a beehive works from the inside, you know words fall short. This educational Dadant beehive with 12 frames fitted with full-colour didactic boards solves that problem: it's a real hive — complete with body, floor and roof in high-density polystyrene — but instead of combs, each frame carries illustrated teaching panels printed on both sides. Open it up, pull out the frames one by one just as you would in the apiary, and the children see, touch and understand. 16 topics covering everything from honeybee anatomy to pollination, hive products and how to help pollinators.
The 12 wooden frames with printed boards measuring 435 × 300 mm are lifted and handled exactly as during a hive inspection. This allows the educator to reproduce the real dynamics of the apiary: remove the roof, prise apart frames, show content on both sides. Children don't just watch a presentation — they take part in an experience that engages motor and visual memory, far more effective than any slideshow.
Each frame carries content printed on both sides with accessible text and full-colour illustrations. Topics include: royal jelly, propolis, worker bee, queen bee, drones, honeybee anatomy & morphology, pollination, types of honey, the waggle dance, bee pollen, uses of beeswax and how we can help bees. The content is designed to suit different ages and levels, from primary-school workshops to open days at the apiary.
The body, roof and floor are manufactured from painted high-density polystyrene, keeping the total weight of the complete set at just 6.4 kg. That matters when the hive travels from school to school, fair to fair, or classroom to field. It's easy to carry and withstands continuous use without deteriorating. The vivid colours — lilac body, yellow roof and floor — capture children's attention before you even open the lid.
This is neither a model nor a toy: it's a full-size 12-frame Dadant beehive. The roof has ventilation, the floor includes an adjustable entrance, and all dimensions are standard. This lets the educator show how a professional hive looks on the outside while explaining the didactic content inside. Ideal for beekeeping associations, nature interpretation centres, schools and honey museums.
