It's a lot faster than bare unfinished boxes

Let me start by saying before buying this I bought another brand unfinished and built 7 boxes. Those seven boxes took 9 hours, then 3 days of applying finish. This literally took maybe 15 minutes to put together by hand. Joints were like butter. Couple little spots on the wood that weren't very clean and the easy fit did leave some gap but not enough for me to worry about. I did not glue the box because of the beeswax, so hopefully it will hold good. Screw holes were all predrilled and screw…

Pros
  • Nice peace
Cons
  • The frames may not fit tightly enough in the box, causing instability and possible damage to the honeycombs

Cheap gets you cheap, but ok if want cheap

A Nowadays rarity in the bee equipment world, a company that stands by their products. I got my 4×8 frame supers, a day earlier than expected. Plus.I assembled them with ease, another Plus. However I did have a small issue arise. When the company got a picture to show the issue. They resolved the problem. Another Plus. This isn't my first purchase. And won't be the last. The boxes are well waxed and line up well. I still used glue. And a torque drill when screwing. They sit nice and flat after…

Pros
  • Easy to assemble. Good price.
Cons
  • The box may be difficult to assemble, especially for beginners in beekeeping

Well made. on my review.

Very impressed. The box arrived yesterday, it took me about an hour to assemble. I took my time. The joints were well made and fit snuggly. The wood was of good quality and the frames were nicely waxed. I will see as time goes about longevity. I do plan on buying more of them as needed.

Pros
  • Excellent Quality!
Cons
  • The frames may not be properly spaced, leading to overcrowding and increased risk of disease

Some Assembly Required

The frames are made of pine so drill it before you nail it or it will crack. Remember to use lots of glue, not included, the nails hold it in place until the glue dries. The box is heavily wax coated and so far has held up quite well against the elements. I bought 8 boxes and have put 4 together so far, not counting my original hives that I have put together. Once you know what your doing they go together quickly. Hope the pictures help. I will definitely be buying more when it is time to start

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • The foundation may not be properly aligned, leading to uneven honeycomb construction and potential harm to the bees

Never disappointed on my review.

Easy to assemble and well made. Waxed is the way to go vs a painted hive here in deep south Texas. Helps that they have a good price.

Pros
  • Super awesome box. Solid, easy to put together, Fits perfect over my Bee hive perfectly.
Cons
  • The box may be too heavy or cumbersome to transport, making it difficult to move the hive or extract honey
