BeeCastle 8 Frame Langstroth Bee Hive Coated with Beeswax Includes Beehive Frames and Waxed Foundations (1 Deep Box & 1 Medium Box)

These are by far the best-made bee boxes I've found. The precision of the millwork is outstanding, and the wax/oil finish is superb. That they are screwed together (screws provided) was an unexpected bonus. And they are competitively priced. As a bit of advice, regardless of who you buy unassembled frames from, consider getting a battery-powered pin nailer (Ryobi) rather than trying to hand-nail them together. I use a bit of glue (Titebond III or similar) when putting the frame parts together, then use a 3/4" pin nail to reinforce them. - Fast, easy, and rock solid.

Well built and works great! Bee’s love it. Easy to assemble.

Bought the kits from amazon, but also purchased extra super boxes from the Bee Castle Company website. Im giving 5 stars, even though I did end up getting a bee box that was sightly damaged upon arrival, im rating 5 stars because the company immediately resolved the issue and sent me another box as replacement hassle free. The instructions were pretty clear, and I think the bees are going to be very happy in their new boxes!

This is my first 8 frame Langstroth Beehive, I've been using ten frame beehives for many years. One of my neighbors helped me clear the fallen oaks off my home thanks to Hurricane Milton. (been through many Cat 5 storms, but Milton handed me my tail) My neighbor is a great guy, and had a Wood Duck habitat that was invaded by some really calm bees, so I bought this beehive for him. I have to say it was well built, and easy to assemble. It was appreciated that all the wooden parts had a heavy coating of beeswax, which is rare. First time I assembled a hive that my hands were coated by some of the transferred wax. This hive is still in my garage as I know better than to rehome bees during a polar vortex, even in Florida. Soon as it warms up a bit, we'll drop his duck box and transfer the bees to their new home. Truthfully I have no idea how many bees are in the duck box since its so high up in an oak tree, this cold spell is giving me some time to build a 8 frame to 10 frame brood box adapter, so I can give him an extra ten frame brood box I have on hand if his duck box is loaded with more bees than can fit in this. I've never ordered a beehive from Amazon, and normally use a specific companies hives, but this didn't disappoint in any way.

I am very impressed with this beehive. It was very easy to assemble and is well-built. Everything fit perfectly. I recommend purchasing a set of hive feet to resist ant invasion. I fill mine with grease, once the ants learn they cannot access the hive, they quit trying.
