This single walled hive is widely used by beginners as it has long lugs on the frames which make the frames easier to handle. The brood box takes 11 frames 14\u201d wide by 8\u00bd\u201d high. It is most convenient to adopt a self spacing Hoffman frame and take up the space left in the brood box with a dummy board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style> .edHiveTable { width: 100%; text-align: center; background-color: #FFFFEE; border-collapse: collapse; } .edHiveTable td, .edHiveTable th { vertical-align: top; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #daa520; }<\/style>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"edHiveTable\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #daa520; color: white;\">\n<th style=\"width: 20%;\">HIVE DATA<\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 20%;\">NATIONAL<\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 20%;\">NATIONAL 14&#215;12<\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 20%;\">W B C<\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 20%;\">COMMERCIAL<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Brood frame<\/td>\n<td>14&#8243; x 8\u00bd&#8221;<\/td>\n<td>14&#8243; x 12&#8243;<\/td>\n<td>14&#8243; x 8\u00bd&#8221;<\/td>\n<td>16&#8243; x 10&#8243;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Super frame<\/td>\n<td>14&#8243; x 5\u00bd&#8221;<\/td>\n<td>14&#8243; x 5\u00bd&#8221;<\/td>\n<td>14&#8243; x 5\u00bd&#8221;<\/td>\n<td>16&#8243; x 6&#8243;<\/td><\/tr>\n\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Frames \/ brood box<\/td>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Cells \/ brood box<\/td>\n<td>54,000<\/td>\n<td>80,000<\/td>\n<td>49,000<\/td>\n<td>80,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Lug length<\/td>\n<td>1\u00bd&#8221;<\/td>\n<td>1\u00bd&#8221;<\/td>\n<td>1\u00bd&#8221;<\/td>\n<td>5\/8&#8243;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This amount of comb is adequate for a moderately strong colony but not sufficient for a very prolific colony. However, you can always use two brood boxes, which may make colony inspections more difficult but provides more convenience for swarm control and other hive manipulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively you could use a \u2018brood and a half\u2019, that is, a brood box plus a super used for brood (not recommended as the two frame sizes are not interchangeable) or you could upgrade to 14\u201d x 12\u201d, a Deep National. The extra depth yields a comb area similar to a Commercial (see <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/?page_id=339\">14 x 12<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/?page_id=348\">Commercial<\/a><\/strong> pages).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This model of hive therefore has plenty of options to suit your beekeeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nationals usually have a flat roof which can be turned upside down and used to rest hive parts on. The hive is square so hive boxes can be warm way or cold way, i.e. frames sit parallel (warm way) or at right angles (cold way) to the entrance.<br><br>The majority of National hives are bottom bee space but they can be manufactured with top bee space.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"268\" height=\"284\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Hive-National-hive.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12524\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The National hive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Click below to show\/hide the exploded the hive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bgdiv2\">\n  \n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  class=\"fgdiv\"  src=\"http:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/National-hive1.png\"  width=\"300\"  height=\"526\">\n  \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<script type = \"text\/javascript\">  \n\nvar coll = document.getElementsByClassName(\"fgdiv\");\nvar i;\n\nfor (i = 0;
