ABSTRACT:
A combination bee shipping box and beehive utilizes a commercial cardboard box having closure flaps as a body portion. A cardboard insert removably held in the box strengthens the box and provides a support for a plurality of standard frames or top bar frames. A flexible handle connected with the insert enables lifting the insert and supported frames from the box as a unit. When the box closure flaps are elevated and taped together, an additional tier of frames can be supported above the frames resting on the basic insert. Two boxes can be telescoped in assembled relationship to receive and support additional tiers of frames therein. A stable removable feeder assembly is provided in the space above the frames and below the box closure flaps to nourish bees during shipment. A ventilating screen closure panel for the box while being used as a hive is provided.
