Why Choose an 8-Frame Hive?
The 8-frame design weighs about 20% less than a 10-frame hive—making it easier to lift, manage, and inspect. A full 10-frame brood box can weigh up to 90 lbs, while this lighter option protects your back and simplifies hive maintenance. It’s the ideal balance between productivity and convenience.
