Expertly assembled beeswax hive with everything included except the bees!
Size: 8 Frames
This MayBee 8 frame langstroth starter hive kit is a well constructed option for a first hive because the main components arrive pre assembled and you'll have more than enough accessories to get you started. If you're wondering why 8 frames versus 10, the main reason is weight - especially when it's full of bees and honey, they can get pretty heavy! So this is the slightly lighter but still very standard version used by many beekeepers. I'm going to use it for housing a new nuc of bees to get a colony established. The main box (a standard size 8-frame deep hive box) comes fully assembled. Dovetail joints and wood screws are tight and the universal Langstroth sizing means it will work with other equipment as the apiary grows, including additional 8-frame supers once you start stacking them on top. The entire exterior is coated in a thick layer of natural beeswax which is a nice alternative to paint and provides a solid weather barrier that should last several seasons before needing a new coat. The deep brood box is paired with an inner cover, a telescoping cover with a sturdy metal top, a bottom board, and entrance reducer. i.e., the whole set from top to bottom. While the hive body is ready to go, the frames themselves do require assembly. Small nails are included but I also recommend a little wood glue on the joints. It's not too hard, just takes some time and patience. The frames are standard wood frames and come with plastic foundation that has a base coat of wax (and smells really nice!) in a comb pattern to encourage the bees to build out their comb efficiently. The accessory package is surprisingly comprehensive for a starter set. It comes with a standard smoker and plenty of fuel pellets along with a wide variety of hive tools for prying apart the propolis that bees use to seal the lid. Specialized gear like the uncapping knife is shaped at the perfect angle to reach the majority of honey caps for extraction. The frame hangers are a major convenience for keeping frames off the ground during hive inspections and maintaining proper bee space. The kit includes a queen excluder which is vital once you start adding supers on top, for keeping the queen in the bottom box and ensuring that future honey supers stay clear of brood. It also includes protective gloves and a veil which are helpful for a beginner or when dealing with a more defensive colony. It provides almost every specialized tool needed to manage a hive through the first year. I really like MayBee boxes and always recommend them to people in my local beekeeping association. Anyone who's seen them in person in my yard is also very impressed by the construction, and I personally love that I didn't have to put it together myself! Not only is this kit one of the best made hives I've used, it is also one of the best values for the money that I've ever seen, if you include all the accessories and don't have them already! ... show more

Great Quality
Size: 8 Frames
This thing is very nice. The kit includes a bunch of things, presumably everything a person needs to begin the hobby. The quality of the bee box and it's construction is outstanding. The parts that need assembly fit together perfectly as well.

Homestead & Honey 🍯
Size: 8 Frames
As the VP of my local bee club, I’ve seen a lot of hive kits ranging from “surprisingly solid” to “held together by optimism and staples.” This one genuinely impressed me. 🐝 The components were well organized, beginner-friendly, and sturdy enough that I felt confident setting up a healthy new colony without needing to immediately replace half the equipment. Assembly was straightforward, the frames fit properly, and everything arrived in good condition. I especially appreciate when a kit balances accessibility for newer beekeepers while still being functional enough that experienced keepers won’t outgrow it in five minutes. This setup did that well. My bees moved in like tiny opinionated homeowners conducting an HOA inspection and, thankfully, seemed satisfied. Great option whether you’re starting your first hive or expanding your apiary. #homestead&honey #HoneyBees #thecomfortcurator #PollinatorGarden #nervoussystemreset ... show more

A great gift for beginners.
Size: 8 Frames
I bought this as a gift for my wife who is a nature lover. It came with everything as described and everything needed with the obvious exception of a queen. Recommend for anyone who’s interested in trying a hive.

Good starter kit
Size: 8 Frames
Solid quality full wood bee box. It comes with almost everything needed outside of the colony and a full bee keeper suit but if you’re looking to get into the hobby certainly this is the package for you.

Well worth you time and money and a must have for beginners!
Size: 8 Frames
This was easy for me to build and it was REALLY nice to have every thing I needed to get started. I got another hive and will be getting another box. By far, this is the nicest and easiest to put together kit I have seen! Thankyou!

Falling apart after one year of use
Size: 8 Frames
Bought this for my wife a a Christmas present. We waited a bit to set it up and was stored inside our home in a closet. Set the hive up in APR 2022 and as you can see from the attached pictures there is considerable separation on the bottom board and on the lid which is wrapped in Aluminum sheathing. In addition, the wax dipped coating is also coming off. This hive is set over 18 inches off the ground on cinder blocks, which at set on top of a large plastic A/C unit pad. It is also angle slightly to allow water run off. Taking into account expansion and contraction, I can only surmise that the build quality is highly lacking. You can see there are only what seems to be brad nails hold it together and most likely not much adhesive. I am currently trying to get it back together using some epoxy and clamps. I should not have to be doing this after one year. In addition to that I bought another deep brood box and honey super from the same company, which I did not directly reach out to as I am disgusted that there is roughly 300 dollars of equipment here that seems grossly inadequate for the intended use! ... show more
