BeeCastle 10フレーム ラングストロス ハチの巣箱 100%蜜蝋コーティング 蜂の巣フレームとワックスファンデーション付き (ディープボックス2個 ミディアムボックス2個)

Here’s a quick review if you don’t want to read my entire one: It’s cheap, it works, the wax may not be bees wax and everything arrived in one piece and went together well. ——— Edit: 2/15/26 Brought the hive to the yard and before it was even out of the car the bees were on the glass and seemed to really love the smell of it. I’ll try using the boxes for swarm traps and update. As a beginner bee keeper who’s looking for quality and also cost effective, this does the job pretty well so far. I haven’t used it outside, but straight out of the box it fit well, comes with a few extra nails and screws, no knots where it could be detrimental to the structure. The pre drilled holes made it easy and only one frame ever got a little crack from the nails. It did take us a few hours to put together. The roof did have some sharp corners so we just hammered it down a bit so it didn’t cut our hands. The Queen excluder was a little larger than our actual box so it stuck out on the side which we could probably just cut off and the bees will seal any cracks from it to the box. The frames are covered in wax but it’s very thin, (some reviews said bees would not build on it, my bees are picky too so we’ll see this spring.) I had to really look for it to even notice it. It seems most bad reviews are about broken pieces and the wax not being bees wax. It looks like the picture and is covered in some kind of wax but I can’t say it’s bees wax with 100% certainty. The wax also gets everywhere so be aware when you’re putting it together. 😅 I don’t expect it to last for years and once the “wax” comes off I’ll probably have to paint it so the boxes are protected from weather. For now though it works and I hope it holds up outside. Be aware it doesn’t come with a stand so you’ll have to get one separately (which I’ll just make one with some wood beams and cinder blocks.) Compared to the natural hive from Dr. Leo the box is thin, (he compares it to the more natural ways bees are kept like in hollow trees.) So yeah it’s pretty thin in that regard but if you don’t mind and are just looking for a “standard” langstroth box, it’s standard and you’ll need a cover in the winter. —— So far my overall review is 5/5 stars and I’ll update this review when I find out how it lasts long term.

10/10 for this BeeCastle Langstroth hive is a solid and reliable choice for beekeepers. It's built well and provides a great environment for the bees to thrive and expand.

This is very well made…will buy again!!

Read the reviews before buying and they were right! It’s so easy to assemble. Takes a little time by yourself but not hard. Looks great and the materials seem to be very durable. Would definitely buy again.

I don't really know where to begin, but I would give it 10 stars if I could, and will be buying another one in the future, along with any extra hive parts from this company. The wood is sturdy and durable, and comes coated in the best smelling beeswax. This makes it waterproof, makes the screws stay in better in a weird way, and smells amazing and saves me even more money because I don't have to melt beeswax and coat the frames for the bees take to it better because it's already done. The material is heavy duty pine and seems like it will last for years. I got the 10 frame, and it seems giant, but I know will be perfect for me. I have to say assemble was fun and pretty easy and my kids actually helped with the process! Overall, this is one of the best things I have ever bought on Amazon and I am going to be getting another one in the future. I am so impressed by the quality and condition of the hive! Buy it now, you won't regret it. I am so happy with the product. Thanks to everyone who wrote reviews for me to read before purchasing, it was a big help!
