10-Frame Langstroth Hive Complete
|
*SELECT GRADE = as defined by Mann Lake is their premium grade with the least amount of imperfections allowed. This grade allows small tight knots on the outside of the box and small imperfections on the inside. No knots in the fingers, rabbets or hand holds are allowed. Only the smallest of knots are acceptable (pencil eraser size or smaller) and has to be a tight knot, no black knots at all. No knots of any kind on the fingers or rabbit ear." This is important when comparing to other's "budget", "economy", and "commercial" grades which are of lower quality. This wood is great for painting, staining, varnishing, etc. To me as a backyard beekeeper it is great to have the best and worth the price the small price it adds to you overall hive cost. A hive of which you can be proud... and should last longer.
