Protect Your Hive with Premium Stainless Steel Beehive Feet
Keep your beehive secure, elevated, and protected with this set of 8 stainless steel beehive feet. Designed for hobbyist and professional beekeepers alike, these sturdy hive stand legs screw directly onto the base of your beehive, lifting it off the ground and helping to block unwanted ground-level intruders from entering the hive. Each foot features a bottom bowl reservoir — simply add oil to create a barrier that deters crawling insects from reaching your colony.
