Description:

We designed our LAAZY Hive to solve some of the barriers that we began to experience in our beekeeping and hope it will be a solution for other beekeepers or beekeepers-to-be. We set out to design a way we could modify our Langstroth pieces to make AZ style hives, so that we could continue to keep bees, despite our physical limitations.
