Bee Hive 10 Frame Bee Hives and Supplies Starter Kit, Bee Hive for Beginner, Honey Bee Hives Includes 1 Deep Bee Boxes, 1 Bee Hive Super with Beehive Frames and Foundation

Great quality and very easy to assemble. I will definitely purchase again in the future.

I ordered this kit after expanding my bee yard. In the past I had painted my hives but wanted to see how the wax coating held up. The kit arrived and setup was easy and straightforward. This is the standard langstroth sized kit. The wax didn’t have any strange smells which would upset the bees. The kit contained all the pieces to assemble the frames which are held in by small nails. I used glue to secure the frames together as well. I have used this kit for one bee season and it’s held up well. The wax coating doesn’t show any sign of weathering and the frames are ready to be used again. This kit is a tremendous value if you don’t mind assembling it yourself.

I have wanted a bees wax dipped hive for awhile, the rest of mine are painted white. I have always enjoyed the natural look. After looking at several hives I chose this one because it had the pre drilled screw holes. Having never put one together before I wanted to know exactly where I should have screws. This was a great hive to start with in building them myself because in the past I have always bought assembled. It went together easily and the only thing I had to buy was wood glue. Other hives often need to have screws and nailed purchased to put together. It is great quality and I love the dove tail joints. If I can put this hive together then anyone can do it. The only negative was a small one. I believe that they burn their logo into the wood after it has been dipped. It left some bare spots without wax (see my second picture). I fixed this by melting some additional wax that I already had into these spots. I will definitely buying additional hives and boxes in the future.

Well made, easy to assemble, fits together perfectly. I love that all the parts for the hive are wax dipped. It looks great! Now we have to wait till spring to see if the bees like it!

Excellent quality, easy to assemble and holds up well in the heat or rain. You won't regret this purchase! Its a great value and works perfectly as far as frames fitting perfectly. I love the natural color and the wood doesn't smell or scare the bees.
