  • Great value for the money
Size: 2-Layer
Excellent fit and finish. The wood is very nice and assembly easy with tight fitting joints. For a little over $100 with a coupon, I am very pleased with my purchase and will be back if/when I need to expand again.

  • Great Box
Size: 4-Layer
Ordered 2 sets .Boxes arrived early by Fedex in in good condition. Wood has knots but not holes. The build is near perfect with the dovetails were exact. Went together very easy. Could not be more happy. Going to order a couple more!! Complaints in the reviews were unfounded. Im a semi retired paint contractor/carpenter and these kits are great. Used a good qualtity wood glue on all joints and put 2 coats of real primer and finish on the boxes. What a great buy!! ... show more

  • Good setup for beginners.
Size: 4-Layer
I liked that the kit came with everything necessary to set up your hive, to include screws and nails. The wood is from pine and is a bit soft but should last as long as you’re not handling it too roughly. Some of the cuts were not as clean as I would have liked. I had to use sandpaper to get some of the dovetail corners to mesh together properly. Overall, I am happy with the cost/quality of the product. ... show more

  • Easy assembly
Size: 3-Layer
Good quality materials and easy to put together. Cut pieces fit tight and perfectly squared for hive boxes and frames. Wish this unit had a screened bottom board instead of solid one. We plan to order another kit.

  • Very nice kit and easy to assemble. I like the cedar wood.
Size: 2-Layer
The media could not be loaded. I had one hive from another famous nation-wide company. This one is far nicer: I prefer the cedar wood, and the BeeCastle models have dovetail joints, making them far sturdier after construction. Putting together the boxes is very easy. Putting together the frames is tedious with any brand. I purchased the single hive and super. Both boxes were stained red (which is why I avoided the waxed models), and will be used as supers as you can see in the 2 second video. ... show more

  • Not bad, but not great
Size: 3-Layer
I bought this beehive kit based off of reviews. 1st. The inner lid is out of spec. It is deep on both sides, not offset. Meaning the plywood is centered in the frame instead of being 1/3-2/3 so that one side of the lid is shallow and the other side is deep. This is for proper bee space, so expect them to fill the gap with burr comb on top of the frames. The center hole is long and skinny instead of standard size. So if you are using a bee escape that fits in this hole you will have to trim the lid to install it. 2nd. The telescoping lid is 1/4” plywood in a frame with sheet metal over it. Functional yes but standard is built with 3/4” thick wood to act as an insulator from heat and cold 3rd. The dove tail joints are so-so. They are very splintered, like they were cut using very dull blades. The fit is okay. Obvious not tight like a furniture maker would make them but they aren’t super loose either. They are tight enough that you need to smack them with your fist or the palm of your hand to get them together. Overall they come out square when assembled (less than 1/16” out of square) 4th. The bottom board had some loose heartwood that you could just peel away. I filled it with glue and put the big chunks back in. And put extra paint over them to seal any gaps when I painted it. 5th. These boxes are physically lighter than all the rest of my (fir) bee boxes. Maybe cedar is lighter than fir. 6th The frames go together well. Pretty square. But I did have 1 or 2 that the foundation sheets fit extra loose in. I haven’t inspected why yet but a quick guess I’d say the slot in the bottom bar is extra deep since they don’t go very deep into the top bar. They really should supply 2 sizes of nails for assembly. I ended up using my own nails and put cross nails at the bottom connections fore more strength. 7th There is larger gap between these boxes when stacked than other boxes that I have. 8th Be sure to add more way to the foundation sheets before putting it to use. This goes for every beehive kit that I’ve looked at, not just this one. FYI double waxed means one thin coat of wax on each side of the foundation sheet. Not 2 coats in each side ... show more

  • OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE
Size: 4-Layer
This is my second BeeCastle unwaxed 4 story 10 frame beehive. I love my first hive. The second hive had an issue with one of the panels for a super, preventing assembly. Literally three minutes after emailing BeeCastle of the issue, they asked for a picture. After receiving the picture, they advised they would replace the whole super and provided a tracking number. OUTSTANDING! In the real world there are always issues, it's how issues are resolved that counts. BeeCastle seems to understand and works hard at customer service. In the past I had issues with Dadant and Son Bee co. an item paid for but not sent with order. They failed to resolve the issue. The BeeCastle unwaxed 4 story 10 frame hive is a GOOD hive at the price point. I will be purchasing more BeeCastle hives as I grow. ... show more
