10-Frame Wax-Coated Beehive Kit with Frames – (1) Deep & (1) Medium – Hoover Hives® Original Beeswax Finish

I have two hives from this brand. They have held up well over the years of use and still look nice in the backyard. The bees move in with no hesitation. The customer support is prompt and helpful as well.

I’m giving 3 for now. Could go up or down depending on if I receive the missing pieces. The seller did respond quickly to the initial contact. I just haven’t heard anything in 3 days if they have sent the missing items or not, and have yet to receive items. Outside of that, the product is great. Bees seem to be just fine with the boxes. Everything is easy to put together.Update:Spoke with the seller immediately after this review. They had in fact already sent everything to their warehouse and they promptly took care of everything! The package came in while I was out of town. This seller has gone above and beyond to correct this minor mistake. Upon open the package, they sent a complete super box with hardware. Just a wonderful experience all the way around. Wish all experiences were like this one!Will DEFINITELY, do business with this company again! Thank you!!

Very well constructed.

Had this box for better part of the year now ,Good quality and I think the cedar construction will hold up for years . Wish there was an removable screened bottom tray option . Will purchase again when time is due

I like it. The bees like it, but there are no instructions for all the metal pieces.

very thankful for Galena Farms for helping me get the two missing pieces shipped to me very quickly that was probably just an accident and not put in the packaging but they were very helpful with support and speedy shipping time!the hives went together perfectly once i figured out how to assemble them! my bees come next month so perfect timing for me to set them up outside! its very sturdy product Im so very happy with this product since i have bought other types that just the wood split apart, but this product is so nice and perfectly constructed, they fit just right!Thank you once again Galena Farms for this wonderful product!

The hive was a little hard to get the dove tails together because of all the wax but I appreciated the fact it was so well waxed it is nice that the holes are pre drilled for the boxes, frames went together easily. Screw and nails included. Good wax coat on frame boards overall good looking hiveLooks sturdy and well built I think it's a great hive for the money and love the fact it's american made 10 out of 10 will be buying again

I was so happy with this when I first got it. I followed suggestions of others during assembly and took my time as the pieces fit together very tightly. (rubber mallet & patience are your friends) Unfortunately, in less than 6 months the wood started to get mildew/mold. I never expected that from these as they supposedly had beeswax soaked into the wood, which would prevent this. Anyway, I wouldn't by them again. For my next two I bought plain wood boxes and got a special stain with additive from our local Bengjamin Moore dealer.
