Japanese Honey Bee Hive 2-Tier Set

This is a pre-assembled 2-tier beehive set. Additional boxes without bee holes are also possible!

Please only purchase if you can provide a receipt confirmation immediately upon product arrival.

The wood used for the hive is cedar. The process of burning the surface of the cedar planks is a technique that aims to enhance resistance to rot by carbonizing the soft surface layer of the wood. Yakisugi (charred cedar), traditionally used for exterior walls, has a carbonized surface that resists rot and is therefore less prone to decay.

Due to difficulties in sourcing materials, the roof, top board, and bottom board are not included. Please prepare these yourself.

Japanese honey is a luxury product, priced at 10 yen per gram.
An acquaintance of mine succeeded in swarm capture and increased their hives from 3 to 12, then to 22, 36, and 50. They have now quit their regular job and are living a comfortable life with their family of six, building a new home and selling only honey and beeswax.

Japanese honeybees are simple.
Keeping them is more like having Japanese honeybees naturally inhabit the hive box.
You don't need to provide any care or food; around autumn, you can take a portion of the accumulated honey. Keeping Japanese honeybees is similar to being a landlord.

Compared to beekeeping with Western honeybees, it's so primitive that professional beekeepers might scold you, saying, This isn't called beekeeping, but rest assured, it's perfectly fine!

Inspecting the hive about once a month is sufficient for beekeeping. Since Japanese honeybees simply inhabit the hive on their own, there's very little for humans to do.

Keeping Japanese honeybees is easy as long as they enter the hive!
