Glass-sided Langstroth Hive Body for Observation (10 frames)

When you sit in front of a glass-sided hive and watch bees capping nectar or a worker bee emerging, something shifts—you stop imagining and start truly understanding life inside the hive. This Langstroth hive body with transparent sides is designed exactly for that: to observe without disturbing.

Made from high-quality wood, this body holds 10 Langstroth frames and features glass panels on both sides, allowing real-time observation of hive activity. Ideal for educational demonstrations, beekeeping displays, or outreach projects, it lets you follow bee behavior without opening the hive.

The two included wooden shutters cover the windows to preserve darkness inside when needed, maintaining a more natural environment for the colony. They're easy to install or remove using the side locking system. A metal frame rest at the top ensures proper spacing of the frames.

Can it be used as a functional hive? Yes, but you must add a compatible bottom board and lid to make it a fully operational hive—perfect for small swarms or controlled environments.

Technical features:

• Body for 10 Langstroth frames
• Glass panels on both sides
• Wooden shutters included to cover the windows
• Compatible with standard Langstroth lids and bottoms
• Made from untreated natural wood
• Ideal for observation, display, or educational use

A valuable tool for those who want to teach, learn, or simply enjoy the hidden life of bees.
