  • Nice little starter kit..will need to expand
The good: This kit contains everything you need to start your first colony (except the bees). The wood is high-quality, and it assembles easily (you have to assemble the frames). You will need some wood glue for this. It is also coated in beeswax, so it will have some protection against the elements. The tools appear to be of good quality, for the most part. The sorta un-good: There is virtually no explanation of what the tools are, or how to use them. I recommend doing your own research and buying "Beekeeping for Dummies." In addition, the feeder provided is an entrance feeder, which carries some issues. I purchased a hive top feeder, and you should, too. And, finally, this kit will only get you started. If you live in the northern part of the US, you will need to purchase another deep brood box, and if you intend on actually collecting honey for your own use, you will need at least 1 honey super, as well. You will also want a mouse gaurd for fall, and also possibly a fume board and bee-quick to be able to get the bees to scat so you can harvest your honey in late summer. All of this stuff will run you an additional $200 or so. But you can't protect your hive or harvest any honey without those items. ... show more

  • Excellent customer service!
I ordered this kit because I was aware of a swarm that needed to be retrieved and I didn’t have any supplies yet. When my kit arrived it was missing some frames. Five minutes with customer service and they were shipping an entire new kit. They told me to keep the first kit since it was their mistake and return shipping would be cumbersome . I was very impressed with their concern for customer inconvenience and satisfaction. The supplies are of good quality, the jacket and gloves are great. The only thing in the entire package that I’m not a fan of is the pants. They are made for a male body or a woman who is not “curvy”. They say “one size” but I am a 5’9” and a size 14 and they most definitely are not going to fit me or anyone else in my household. I don’t consider that a big issue - I can double layer leggings under jeans and tuck them into thick socks and get the same protection, so it would definitely not deter me from buying this again. ... show more

  • All you need in one purchase
What a great starter kit or to refill for a more experienced bee keeper. I have been keeping bees for about 5 years and this is a wonderful kit to get someone started. The kit comes with everything you need except the bees.

  • Pretty good value
Let's face it. If you are looking at this you are new to beekeeping and looking for a reasonably priced starter setup to get you going. I had a nest in a tree that needed to be moved and thought beekeeping might be an interesting pursuit so I bought this. I subsequently took a local beekeeping class which confirms what I have to say about this. All of these 'starter kits' are more or less the same. A single deep box with frames, a cheap bee suit and veil, smoker and assortment of tools. If you priced it all out individually it would cost more. However, do not be misled into thinking this is all you will need. First, the tools that are supplied are usable but you will get several hive tools of different styles which all boils down to a matter of preference. They all do essentially the same thing and as a new beekeeper do you really need three or four different tools that do the same thing? On the flip side you will have spares for the ones you end up misplacing. The suit is cheap - I've heard them described as Zip-loc bags and in use unless you live in a cool climate you will sweat profusely. Usable? Sure. Last one you'll ever own? If you stick with beekeeping you will inevitably spring for a better quality jacket and veil but it might be handy for friends who want to help out. The gloves are decent, brush is fine. Queen clips are fine, starting out you probably won't need one let alone three. The smoker works fine but is a bit small. Uncapping tools seem fine, haven't used them yet. The knife is fine but you will want to dress the underside of the blade with a fine flat file to knock off the metal burrs. The scratcher looks serviceable. Queen holder.for marking? Ok, you might never use that one. Excluder? Metal ones are better but the plastic one works ok. Frames and foundations are standard and the foundations are wax coated. The hive construction is good and as a bonus it came assembled which was unexpected. The box is screwed together and wax coated inside and out. Maintenance-wise wax coating might be a bit more hassle than painting uncoated boxes but it is ready to go out of the box so that is a preference call. Don't really know what makes sense in the long run but I personally hate painting. Ultimately to get started you need at least two hive boxes and supers of your choice - medium or deep, preferably 10 frame. You will outgrow this 8 frame starter setup rapidly if your hive does well. You will need a super if you have any desire to collect honey. You will need other odds and ends in the long run but if you just want to try it out and see if beekeeping is something you want to pursue this might work for you. ... show more

  • Awesome Buy!
Great quality, size, and was easy to use. Love the plain wood color. Definitely worth the money. My only issue is that the bee suit comes in one size. Would have liked being able to buy my size.

Joints fit perfectly together, tools seem solid. Bee Castle box seems perfect. No splitting wood when putting frames together. No gaps. Easy to assemble.. now almost ready for bees.

  • Great starter kit
We are new bee keepers and bought this start kit for all the supplies that come with it. We have several BeeCastle hives but this kit has the jacket, smoker, hive tools and honey tools that make it worth the money. I did try to price out the items separately to see if I could get a better deal on the components but was not able to beat the price. This is a starter kit so some of the items can be replaced with better quality as you progress but this will get you going without any issues. ... show more
