Overall well made

Reviewed on May 01, 2024

Inconsistent wax application, but not bad. Joints are tight. Squares up nicely.

Missing Nails

Reviewed on Feb 18, 2024

The directions said to assemble the hive boards with nails. No nails were provided in kit. I’ve purchased other hive boxes and nails were included.

Decent start

Reviewed on Feb 15, 2024

My hive was well manufactured and all came together well. You’ll need a mallet for the body, and you’ll need small nails for the frames. All in I think it’s a fair price for a first foray into amateur beekeeping. I docked a star as it says it’s a complete kit but it doesn’t have a floor, a crown board, or a roof. You’ll need all of those, but they are the easiest to make yourself.

Good customer service but had problems assembling frames

Reviewed on Jan 22, 2024

I was able to assemble the boxes and the deep box frames, but not the medium box frames. The grooves on all the side bars were too big to fit into the top and bottom bars. The company sent new bars, but I had the same issue. Then they sent an entirely new set, boxes and all. I haven't assembled them yet, but I'm impressed that they did that. I'll update once I put everything together. Other than the medium box frame issue, I like this hive.

Good for beginners not pro level

Reviewed on Jan 04, 2024

This is okay for beginners but a pro would not like it. The wood in the bottom and top board have spaces between them. I think the wood shrank after dipping. I would have been better if the bottom and top was one solid piece of wood not boards side by side. I have to seal them up with wood sealant due to hive beetles and fire ants. The view ports needs Plexiglass recessed like the old summerhawk hives. Bees will seal it up without plexiglass. This is starter hive material.

I would have give this 5* but strangely it's not got the standard Langstroth top bee space which has meant that I have had to modify it so that it is totally compatible with Langstroth standard equipment. If you haven't got equipment to cut out the standard top bee space then it makes things difficult. This is required for a deep brood box in order to put on a Queen Excluder.

GREAT VALUE

I would have given a complete 5* rating across the board had the base come with a varroa mite screen.
