8-Frame Rebated Standard-Grade Timber Hive Box

Build an 8-frame hive body using traditional rebated corner construction with this Standard-Grade Timber Box from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

The product is part of a smaller specialist range for beekeepers who prefer rebate joints over the more common finger-jointed format.

Plantation-Grown New Zealand Pine

The box uses standard-grade radiata pine.

Natural tight knots may be visible in the timber, which is normal for this grade.

Most are positioned away from the joints where possible.

Narrower 8-Frame Format

The listed footprint is approximately 353 × 508mm.

The narrower width can reduce the overall weight of a hive box when compared with a 10-frame equivalent.

Match it with compatible 8-frame equipment throughout the hive.

DIY Assembly Required

The panels are supplied for assembly.

Use suitable tools, fasteners and adhesive according to your preferred construction method.

Check the box for square before final tightening.

Treat the Timber

Linseed oil or a similar exterior timber treatment is recommended before long-term exposure to weather.

If you prefer equipment that is already assembled and treated, Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies offers ready-to-go woodenware separately.

For beekeepers who enjoy traditional box construction, the rebated format provides another choice beyond finger joints.
