What size is right for me?

Did you know the only difference in measurements between 10 frame and 8 frame boxes is the width? 8 frame equipment is narrower than 10 frame, and not always compatible with other 8 frame equipment as dimensions vary slightly by manufacturers. 10 frame equipment offers more space for brood and honey production.

    10 frame unassembled complete hive kit with foundation

    Posted by Allen Brewer on Jun 18, 2024

    I do not like nor do I use plastic foundation in any of my hives. You need an option for split bottom frames with real wax foundation in this package. Then I would be very interested in ordering this kit. Will not waste my money on the plastic foundation. My bees just don't do well with it.

    Quality but short on nails

    Posted by Jeff on Jun 11, 2024

    Wooden ware good fit and quality. Short on larger nails for hive body build. If 9 nails/corner x 4 corners---20 nails will not cover it. Simple solution as that I have other nails at home. But may be helpful to the next beekeeper with ample supply of nails sent in packaging. Frame building easy, plenty of small nails.

    Options needed

    Great product. My only gripe is with the ordering process. Why can’t options like black foundation and screened bottom boards be offered?

    Hive box

    The sides weren’t leveled. The girls will need lots of propolis to plug the gap.
