I have three of these and the bees have done really well in them this year. They seem really solid and are well insulated. Very easy to clip together and seal up if you need to move a colony.
This is the second set of double-body ANEL hives I bought, and I am very happy with them. They are the right size, they are waterproof, they are insulated, they are compatible with all kinds of Langstroth hive parts, and most of all, the bees seem to love them.
Sturdy, light, and water-tight!
I love them!
Tried other insulated hives (which were more than three times the price) so was hooked on insulated hives. These are no frills hives (good), and are standard Langstroth dimensions so Langstroth items all fit.
Really well made hive at a great price.
Cannot fault this hive. It has everything!!
