I purchased this box to expand my current hive and the thought of wax coating was preferable to using paint. I took a risk trying this out but don't think it paid off. Some feedback for those considering this hive:1. The wax coating is indeed heavy. So much so that there are wax drippings along the parts and it makes assembly a bit cumbersome.2. The manufacturing could be better as the cutouts don't always align perfect (see gaps in the pictures) and some of the holes seemed to not have been predrilled well causing the wood to split in some areas.3. I was missing 2 nails. Just a bit annoying when you expect a complete kit4. This is more of a preference but the inside of the hive is also coated but not necessaryAll in all of i could do this again i would buy a quality box and use odies oil to coat the exterior. Not sure of i will return this now that it is assembled but will likely not buy again.
