BeeCastle 10 Frame Langstroth Bee Hive Coated with Beeswax Includes Beehive Frames and Waxed Foundations (2 Deep Boxes & 1 Medium Box)

Bee-approved and beekeeper-approved!! As a newer beekeeper, I wanted a hive that was sturdy, easy to assemble, and ready for the bees—and this one checked all the boxes. The hive went together surprisingly easily, and once assembled it felt very solid and well-made. The wood is beautiful, the boxes fit together nicely, and my bees seem to love their new home. The real test of a company is how they handle problems, and BeeCastle passed with flying colors. One of my supers arrived cracked during shipping. I messaged the seller, and they responded quickly, sent out a replacement right away, and even told me to keep the damaged one. That’s the kind of customer service that keeps people coming back. ✔ Easy assembly ✔ Sturdy construction ✔ Great customer service ✔ Happy bees If you’re looking for a quality hive with a company that stands behind its product, I’d definitely recommend this one. My bees are happy, I’m happy, and that’s a win in my bee book! 🐝🍯💛

Sturdy, standard size, great price. Built well, all pieces go together pretty square and supers have great dovetailing. I'd reinforced with glue and brad nails so there's no chance of frames separating from the weight with just the tack nails provided, added extra wax to the foundations to avoid any chance of bur comb just to be safe and, with a little effort, it's the highest quality hive. Will definitely be buying more as my Apiary expands. I believe that everything comes dipped in wax.

The BeeCastle 10 Frame Langstroth Bee Hive has been a fantastic addition to my beekeeping setup! The 100% beeswax coating is a standout feature, providing a natural and attractive environment for my bees. The construction is solid and durable, ensuring the hive will withstand the elements for years to come. The included beehive frames are well-made and fit perfectly, making assembly straightforward and hassle-free. My bees have taken to the hive quickly, and it's clear they are thriving in this high-quality setup. Plus, the price was right, offering exceptional value for such a premium product. I highly recommend the BeeCastle Langstroth Bee Hive to any beekeeper looking for a reliable and efficient hive solution!

I'm a first year beekeeper and bought two of these hive kits to start...I'm a little over a month into having bees in the hives and so far these are working great. The woodenware seems quite nicely made and is cedar, which you'd pay a premium for elsewhere. Everything fit together well. I disagree with other reviews saying that the wax coating on the foundation was light. The wax on the Beecastle foundation was actually heavier than the wax on some Premier foundation I got -- I did go ahead and roll some extra on but I'm not sure it was strictly necessary. I guess the only thing I would like as an upgrade to this kit would be screened bottom boards for varroa IPM/monitoring, but most other kits also come with solid bottom boards. Overall, I'm extremely happy with these hives and will probably buy more -- it's hard to beat the price for what you get.

I purchase two different kits of this style from two different vendors for the purpose to compare them each other. The hive and components look to be pretty solid. Plenty of wax on the boxes and parts. The inter cover was not notched for a top entrance so I will have to notch that myself. The joints are solid and the assembly was very easy and the wax made the seams seal up very well. The one draw back I found for both the kits was the shipping boxes. The carboard box was barely strong enough to hold all the components in the box. The shipping box should be a heavy box because the shippers are not gentle with these boxes and they had wholes punched into them. They might want to consider strapping the boxes also because when I open the box it just fell apart. I ended up with missing parts and having one of the med boxes being broken. Which they promptly replaced by their customer service reps.

I’m very happy with this BeeCastle 10 Frame Langstroth Bee Hive. The wood pieces fit together well, and assembly was straightforward with basic tools. It feels sturdy and well designed once put together. I also liked that it uses the standard 10-frame Langstroth size, which makes it easy to find extra parts and accessories. The frames and foundations included were a nice bonus and saved me time getting started. Overall, this hive offers great value for the price and is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced beekeepers. Highly recommended!

Very high quality construction. Assembly is straightforward and a breeze. Looks great assembled. The beeswax coating is perfect coverage and brings the beauty of the wood out and is a great weatherproof coat.
