Mini Plus National Hive Painted


The mini plus National hive is the ideal solution for beekeepers looking for a versatile and functional hive for rearing queens or wintering small colonies. Thanks to its innovative modular frames, it allows them to be combined and transferred to a full-size brood box with a simple lock together design.  Alternatively it enables you to start your colony in your National hive brood box and transfer the brood frames to your mini plus National hive to continue queen rearing.

Manufactured to the same high standard as our best selling 12 frame hive using high density steam moulded polysterene, the mini plus National hive is a durable and practical option.

Consists of:

  • Roof
  • Feeder
  • Brood Box
  • Partition
  • Frames (flat pack – self assembly, foundation not included)
  • Floor

Existing Abelo Mating Hive brood boxes are compatible with the Mini Plus National Hive but please note the frames are not the same size.
