Cement beehives


Justin Boyens
 

Hi everybody I just wanted to put it out there that I'll be having a light weight cement beehive for sale they provide better insulation which means more honey since they don't need to eat as much stores to keep the colony warm they are fire proof and allso just look amazing in a garden or front yard est. It comes with a bottom brood chamber 1 shallow super and a lid, if people show a interest in them I'll keep making them I can allso make more supers as needed. Hope everyone is having a good start to there bee season

I thought concrete was terrible for insulation. Makes sense to use concrete hives in the tropics like Africa/South America. Unsure why you would want that here other than for making it hard to steal.
