Hive Stands (10-Frame)

10-Frame Hive Stands

10-frame hive stands serve as an added barrier of protection from the elements, but additionally, they assist your hive in working to its fullest potential. Dadant's selection of beehive stands gives you the right foundation for a healthier, more productive colony. There may be those that think that a hive stand is just another unnecessary added expense, but the truth is that hive stands help create a more natural habitat for your honey bees.

When setting up their production areas, honey bees are more inclined to build higher up, rather than on the ground. This is exactly why hive stands for bees are a worthwhile investment from the start. Hives that are positioned on the ground will not perform as well as those with a bit of height to them. In cases where the hive is on the ground, conditions will deteriorate and the honey bees will always find an alternative location at a higher altitude. Dadant's Langstroth hive stands are designed to work with standard 10-frame equipment, so your colony has the elevation it needs to thrive. Hive stands also help protect the hive against predators, so it is important to determine which predators are in your area when deciding which 10-frame hive stands are right for you and your hive's needs.
