The Components of a Bee Hive & Their Functions for the Colony
Posted by Gypsy Shoals Farm on
Just like the bees themselves, each part of their hive design serves a very specific function to the colony as a whole. They truly are nature’s master architects. As beekeepers, we try to emulate the same ideal conditions of their natural design into a system that we can work inside to manage the hive. The result is the Langstroth hive design. Although there are other designs used, this is the most common colony setup in the United States.
