Two of us put it together. Took about 30 minutes. The bees showed up before we were finished. We used wood glue and the nails. The frames are sturdy and the box looks great.

The instructions are vague. I am good at assembling stuff. These parts should be numbered . No ventilation for the bottom

so the quality of the hive and pieces is very good. I had an issue when assembling it where they send me 2 of the same pieces. But after I contacted customer service they were very quick to reply and take care of the issue. thanks.

normally i would just enjoy a good product ,,but this is a really good deal for what you get . i mean the box is beautiful . dang i guess i will have to include a picture now . uhhhg

So exited to start the bee box when spring comes! It was easy to assemble and looks really nice.I added some wood glue before putting in the nails just to have extra strength! It looks really nice, I definatly recommend this product.

I rarely leave reviews.i needed the hive box very quickly and I was very impressed with this package. The fully sealed waxed system allowed me to install my package if bees in short order. All of the wood was perfectly cut and pilot drilled and countersunk.so nothing split or chipped. Not only would I recommend it to anyone.but I would certainly buy it again.

I bought two. I was really impressed with the quality of the first one, but opened the second box and a piece was completely split in half. I had reached out to customer service and hope it gets replaced. Pending that answer my rating will go up…or down.

Extremely pleased with this product. Great craftsmanship, quality materials, very easy to assemble. From unboxing to sitting in the yard about an hour. I highly recommend this product.

Easy to assemble (directions could be improved) Excellent value when you consider sourcing and cutting the material yourself.

This is an excellent product. Easy to put together and in a very short time. Will buy another one in the future. Thanks! That's my review!

This item is easy to assemble just takes a bit of time due to multiple pieces. Item is well made the wood has a great smell that started to attract bees within hours of me me putting it out. So added support I used wood glue as well at the nails it came with. Not sure how it will hold up but since you’ll only have this one time to put it together might as well do it right.

We bought this hoping the bees living in a stump in the middle of our blueberry bushes might need a new home. Maybe this winter . it's a great hive! Would love to entice them into a new living space so we could pick our berries!

I loved the craftsmanship of the beehive and the ease of assembly. I was able to easily assemble the beehive by myself, a woman without any experience with carpentry, using just a mallet, hammer, and screwdriver.

We did have to drill pilot holes for the brads that are needed to assemble all of the parts. The box parts are very accurately dovetailed. But the screws are not optimally located to prevent splitting. The screw holes need to be countersunk by the factory. Very satisfied. THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS.

The craftsmanship far exceeded my other hive as well as material quality definitely well worth the money and is priced at a great rate was very easy to assemble even if you don't have any experience

Nice looking Hive body but question why the nail gauge is so large.I do like the quality of the hive and have purchased four bodies previously. I do not pre drill every frame.

I have decided of my own volition to modify my review due to the excellent customer service I have received. Not even a full year in I had some issues with the product and inquired about potential solutions. The company in my opinion went above and beyond resolving all matters and I feel satisfied to continue using their products.

This beatbox is well-made but their customer service is even better. That's my review. I strongly recommend buying from this seller.
