This light but strong stand will help you ant proof your beehives and honey. Improved weather-resistance. Holds an 8-frame Langstroth beehive or flow hive. Level hive easily -    up to an inch side-to-side & back-to-front. Strong support for brood box & supers (not included). Feet design uses "moat" barrier with adjustable rain & debris deflectors.

4 feet are included with every stand.

Aluminum. Threaded rod legs of galvanized steel. Assembly: Thread "feet" onto stand, leveling directions included. Add oil (we use olive oil.) Set hive on stand. Recommended to place the stand on cinder blocks or wooden beams to elevate above any surrounding vegetation.

Maintenance: periodically remove vegetation from around hive and stand feet. Check oil levels in feet.

    Defyant stand: moats

    I am very impressed by this product! On my property there has to be at least 17 different kinds of ant species. I was having a problem with them wanting to go into the hive and successfully going into the upper box I'm using to supplemental feed, they figured out the sugar water was there and started attacking the hive. I couldn't be more pleased with this product!

    No More Ants!

    Having lost a hive to ant invasion, we are so happy to have found this product. It is light weight but the 8-frame boxes are very secure. Easily leveled, and easy to maintain the barrier fluid (we use olive oil). Excellent product!

    Ants are always taunting my hives- since I purchased this stand I have not seen one ant on my hives. It makes me rest easy.
