Item Description

The Valkyrie is built to last, with a two-year warranty on the working lid and hinges. Could it withstand an IED…? Sort of looks that way, and that’s how Bruce builds them, so your local weather conditions shouldn't pose a problelm.

The Valkyrie holds 24 STANDARD DEEP frames, which is recommended. Until your colony builds-out all 24 frames, use the extra room to the right for storing tools, supplies, or installing a feeder on the INSIDE of the hive body, safely away from robbers, skunks or rodents.

Each Valkyrie lid has an installed bracket for holding frames, bee brushes, hive tools, etc. Our six gorgeous lid colors were chosen to blend in with just about any landscape or garden color scheme, and custom colors are available.

Once you’ve added your own paint or finish (please remember: within a week of delivery is best), these lids will remain very pleasing to the eye.

The "Valkyrie" Advantage:
 

  • No heavy lifting-- protect your back, neck and shoulders.
  • Maintain heat and humidity-- help the colony stay comfortable.
  • Pest control--  without a lot of extra gadgets.
  • Easy to operate--
  • a truly "One-and-Done" experience!
  • Year-round Comfort-- With the Triple-layer and Inner cover system.
