Layens Insulated Horizontal Beehive Bundle

From: $350.00

Are you getting started in beekeeping, or do you need to add capacity?  Here’s the Layens hive bundle that you need!

Start with a “twenty frame” insulated Layens horizontal hive

Add frames of your choosing (up to two styles). Frame capacity: Twenty 1-1/2″ frames, twenty-two 1-3/8″ frames, or a combination of up to two sizes and styles. I recommend ten 1-3/8″ frames for brood and eleven 1-1/2″ frames for honey.

Include an adjustable metal hive stand at a discount when bundled with a hive.

Layens Frame - First Selection

13" x 16" Frame for a Layens beehive, assembled and pre-wired with straight vertical wire or cross-wire.

If you want a mix of options just add the desired quantity of each to the cart.  Quantity discounts will be applied in the cart.

Original price was: $8.00.Current price is: $7.00. each
Top Bar Style

Flat top bars have a groove cut in the bottom as a straight guide for mounting foundation or a starter strip of wax, plastic or wood.
Tapered top bars are “V” shaped, providing a guide for straight comb building without foundation or a starter strip.

Frame Wiring Style

Straight wire frames have 4 vertical wires in the frame.  These provide better structure and support for the comb for using a rotary extractor and can be used to mount wax foundation in the frame. X-Wire frames are wired in a diagonal, crossing pattern for better vertical comb support.
Cross-wire (X-Wire) frames have 4 wires which run at angles from top to bottom and cross at 3 points.  This is done to provide better vertical support for comb and reduce the incidence of comb collapse. 

Frame Width

1-1/2″ is the typical width for Layens frames. 1-3/8″ better matches the bees’ natural comb spacing for brood comb.

Description

Are you getting started in beekeeping, or do you need to add capacity?  Here’s the Layens hive bundle that you need!  Pair an insulated Layens horizontal hive with frames of your choice, along with a Hopkins Hive stand. Bundle discounts apply to frames and the hive stand when purchased as a part of this bundle.

The hive is a “Twenty Frame” hive, but can hold twenty 1-1/2″ frames or twenty-two 1-3/8″ frames. You can choose up to 22 frames per bundle, in any combination of 2 styles (or just 1). I recommend ten 1-3/8″ frames (for brood), along with eleven 1-1/2″ frames (for honey), for a total of twenty-two frames.
