Hive Plans
The links on the right take you to downloadable Data Sheets on how to make your own hives to the Standard Specifications. They are based on the (now out of print) former Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) Advisory leaflets, which would have been familiar to many beekeeprs during the nineteen sixties and seventies. These leaflets are © Crown copyright. The information in the Data Sheets has been adapted and modified from the leaflets, using the original illustrations, and is reproduced by permission of the controller of HMSO.
DISCLAIMER: - Great care has been taken in the preparation of these technical sheets to ensure accuracy but the authors and the Scottish Beekeepers’ Association cannot accept liability or responsibility. Beekeepers must therefore use the information at their own discretion and risk.
