Installation tips

Place the hive on a stable, level surface. The feet provide a minimum height from the ground. Orient the entrance facing south or south-east. Protect from prevailing winds and avoid direct exposure to lateral bad weather. If decorative use: check local regulations before installation and consult a specialist for stocking.

Maintenance and protection

Treated pine is more resistant to moisture than raw natural pine. Apply a non-toxic natural oil or wax to the outer faces every 2 to 3 years. Clean the interior with plain water without chemical products. Check the condition of the feet and roof annually after the winter season.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this rustic hive and the classic hive?

The rustic hive is equipped with integrated feet that raise it from the ground, and a chalet roof that improves protection against rain. Its body is slightly more compact (25x25 cm vs 32x32 cm). Both models have 5 frames and are delivered assembled.

Are the integrated feet stable on soft ground?

On soft ground (soil, grass), the feet may sink slightly. Place small slabs or plastic plates under each foot to distribute the weight and ensure stability. On hard ground (terrace, concrete), the feet are directly stable.

Is the chalet roof waterproof?

The treated wood chalet roof limits direct rain infiltration. For optimal waterproofing, apply a wood stain or exterior oil to the roof once a year. The joints between the roof panels can be treated with exterior sealant if necessary.

Can this rustic hive be painted or personalised?

Yes, on the outer faces only. Use a water-based microporous exterior paint or wood stain. The interior must remain untreated. Allow to dry completely before exposure to bad weather.

Can this rustic hive be left outside all year round?

Yes. Treated pine withstands bad weather for continuous outdoor use. Apply an exterior oil to the exposed faces every 2 to 3 years. Check the condition of the feet and roof after each winter and tighten the fittings if necessary.
