Features

  • [Thicker and Full Beeswax Coating] - BeeCastle hives are fully soaked in the boiled beeswax(the beeswax deeply soaks into the wood to form a waxy coating),which makes BeeCastle Hives more durable than other waxed beehives. Beekeepers no longer have to coat their bee hives, saving effort and convenience.
  • [Superior Design]- This beehive has pre-cut dovetail joints and pre-drilled holes, which make assembly easier.The dovetail design is not only easy to assemble but also very tight fitting with stronger and longer support for the beehive box.The wooden frames of the bee hives also come with dovetails.
  • [Durable Material]- Cedarwood material has great stability, which avoids BeeCastle hives from shrinking, expanding, cracking or warping compared to other woods. Beehive frame was made of pine wood, which also is sturdy and durable.
  • [Standrad Size]- Deep Brood Bee Boxes (14-1/4 x 19-7/8 x 9-5/8) and Medium Super Boxes (14-1/4 x 19-7/8 x 6-5/8). This 8 frame beehive is a standard Langstroth beehive dimension.

  • Apiary necessity
BeeCastle makes a great kit. The pieces went together well with a little persuasion - which is exactly what I wanted with honeybee boxes. I added wood glue to all joints and used the included hardware. Durability will be tested as the boxes are out in the weather for a few seasons. I would recommend this 8-frame kit for first time and seasoned beekeepers. ... show more

  • Good quality, easy assembly
I have thought about beekeeping a a hobby for many years and now that I'm not able to work a regular job I decided to give it a go. After taking a few classes and researching what kind of hive I would best be able to manage this turned out to be a very good value for the money and was shipped to my home and I find it was quite easy to assemble and set up. The pieces are all coated with a generous amount of beeswax. The frames are included and also require assembly, however the the wood for the frames is not coated, the foundations are dipped and they too have a good coating of beeswax on them both the deep and medium foundations are included. I was unsure how long it would take for bees to draw out the comb but I really didn't need to worry. I received my bee packages on Thursday April 25, 2024 and I followed the instructions given for installing the new bees and on day seven I checked to be certain the queen was out of her cage and was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of drawn out honeycomb, even some burr comb built around the queen cage. I'm including a photo to show just how much extra there was. I had to remove this in order to put the last frame in and to keep things uniform inside the hive. I'm told the reason this was so fast to build is the amount of beeswax coating the foundations. Very happy with my experience so far ... show more

  • You will not be disappointed!
Honestly, I am not terribly handy with tools. With that in mind, I must say that putting together this beehive was almost a meditatively, relaxing experience. The workmanship was so precise, the directions were clear and everything just fit together so well. What a great kickoff to this beekeeping season! ... show more

  • Wood somewhat cheap - easily splinters but good customer service
Minimal amount of wax but overall cute boxes. Assembly took some time. A few pieces of wood were chipped (not sure if due to shipping or packing or just cheap wood). A couple of frames split quite easily (see picture). There were no predrilled holes so you need to drill them in advance. You will also need wood glue. I hope these boxes stand up to time. Update: seller seem receptive. They are going to ship 3 frames to replace the damaged ones. Thus, I've added 1 star back. ... show more

  • Nice hive boxes...
I am a new beekeeper so nothing to compare these to. But, they were easy to assemble (I used wood glue along with the hardware during assembly), and they are very sturdy. I really like the look of the natural wood that shows through the beeswax coating. My bees are doing very well and seem happy in their new home. ... show more

  • Sturdy boxes, high-quality wood
These hives came together quickly and well. High-quality screws and nails were provided, and it took half the time to build as my other hive (a different manufacturer). I had a problem with the shipper, and the seller was very helpful and responsive in assisting. Overall a very good experience.
