ABSTRACT:
An elongated rectangular cross section hive body provides increased useable volume compared to a Kenya hive. An easily replaceable flat bottom board for the hive body is provided. Raised end walls for the hive body enable using selectively standard or top bar frames in the hive body. Side handle strips on the hive body having sloping top faces facilitate the use of a hive tool for easy removal of a simplified top board for the hive body. Honey and brood frames for the hive of increased strength and stability are provided. The hive body possesses greater stackability than the prior art without loss of stability.
