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)

If you have any woodworking skills, you will appreciate this build and design. I did not need the instructions, as the tongue and groove design only allow for it to be assembled one way. It took me a minute to figure out the frames, but they two were easy to understand. The two different comb boards are a neat design, and hopefully will expedite the bees motivation and productivity. The stand out is the precision of the cuts, and how close the tolerances are, this is quality. Also, the outsides are well weatherproofed, and I believe wax coated. Another point is the very well thought out packaging. There was very little dead space in the box, so it would have had to endure a large drop to damage anything inside. The lid for the hive is upside down on the bottom, so if it travels upright, it has very strong natural reinforcement. This will be my first go at bees, so I won't need all four boxes and frames to start, but I'll be able to grow into them if all goes well. The only negative I can see, and it is a reach, is that the day mine arrived I see it listed for $229 with a $12 discount coupon, where I paid $249. Free shipping has to be built into the price or companies would not make any money, the craftsmanship is worth the price I paid, and this is one heavy and large box. Even so, you always hate being on the wrong side of price drops, and rejoice when on the right side.

Easy to assemble and bees haven’t left to find a new home.

This is the first hive I have assembled from a kit. If you are an old hand at constructing furniture from IKEA kits you will have no problem. The instructions were minimal. You definitely need a mallet, a hammer and a Philips screwdriver.

I love these! Well-built, fun to put together. I used air stapler instead of the nails, just for expediency. They are beautiful hives, people have complimented me for them. Quality lumber, and care in construction to avoid knots in the wrong places. And...the bees love them. I bought two and put nucs in them. I thought the price was great, they came quickly and were solidly packed in sturdy boxes.

As a beginner, this was perfect for me! I just got into beekeeping 3 months ago and this box hive set did the job just fine. The pieces fit together easily, the wood was smooth with no warping, and the joints lined up perfectly. My bees took to it right away, and I’ve already spotted capped brood and stored pollen inside.
