Observation Langstroth beehive

After years in the apiary, you learn that the best way to teach is to let the bees speak for themselves. And that’s exactly what this observation hive allows: showing the inner workings of the colony without opening or disturbing it.

Made of natural wood, this observation hive is designed to hold a standard 48x23 cm Langstroth frame. It features two sliding wooden panels that open to reveal methacrylate glass on both sides, allowing clear observation of the bees’ activity on both faces of the frame.

It’s an essential tool for educational events, fairs, schools or workshops. Simply insert a brood frame with nurse bees and some stores from a healthy hive, close the entrance, and you’re ready! Open the viewing panels and let everyone watch: the queen laying eggs, workers hatching, pollen being stored, or nectar exchanged between foragers and nurse bees.

Beyond its educational value, this observation hive is a fantastic way to showcase the bee’s life cycle and colony dynamics. The sturdy design includes metal latches, a top handle for transport and stable wooden feet.

Perfect for:

• Schools, beekeeping associations, honey fairs
• Training programs and environmental education
• Beekeepers who want to share their craft with clarity and safety

Technical details: wooden structure with sliding side doors, top lid with metal handle, double methacrylate glazing, fits 1 Langstroth frame (48x23 cm). Frame not included. Super not needed.

A safe, educational, and visual tool that turns any talk about bees into a memorable experience. Because seeing a queen walk across the comb is something you never forget.
