  • Good quality on new purchase
Color: 4 Layer
I hate reviews that say '5 Stars, item arrived on time and intact!' because I don't care how it shipped - I want to know if the ITEM is any good. But here I am doing almost just that same thing..haha. In case seller has others for sale, mine is the 4-box hive: 2 deep and 2 medium. I was worried because of some negative reviews and because there also aren't that many reviews for the product. I work in shipping and know how some heavy items are easily damaged. I half expected damage on arrival. Delv'd by FedEx, and they seemed to take care with it. One seam of the shipping box had a split, but shipper had taken care to band and tape well. Nothing was damaged. A lot of reviews for low-price hives mentioned missing pieces. All pieces were included that should have been. I feel quality is great so far. Sure, wood is narrow and can split - it's the nature of wood. There might be types of wood that don't split, but I've worked with a lot of hardwoods that still did when pieces are narrow. I, personally, could not face the thought of hand-nailing 1,000 small nails, so I broke out the wood glue and brad gun...haha I had zero pieces split on me. The bag had plenty of nails, though, so there were probably plenty to secure everything. Seeing the narrow pieces, I'd probably pre-drill holes...another thing I could not face, thus sealing my choice of a brad gun! Can't remember if this item had reviews for no instructions, or for bad instructions, but instructions were included and pretty clear. Pieces went together easily and are square. As with any assembly of this many pieces, some pieces fit more snugly, some more loosely. Light hammer taps took care of the snug fits, wood glue and nails took care of the loose. All pieces fit, and there were no big issues getting any where they were supposed to go. All boxes and parts sit squarely on top of each other. Assembly took probably close to 2-1/2 hours at a lazy pace. Are they interchangeable with boxes from other hives? I don't know as I don't have any other hive boxes to sit them on. Outside measurements of boxes are 16-1/4" x 19-7/8", according to my cheapie tape measure. Big question - will it hold up? I don't know. I plan to coat with 2 light coats of exterior paint and hope for the best. I'd say it's probably the same for any wood going outside, but if I remember a year from now and can find my original review, I will update. Last biggie - will the bees like it? I also don't know because my bees arrive next month. If I imagined myself a bee, I think I'd like it. But who knows. This will be included in my one-year update, assuming I can find the original to update and assuming I don't kill the poor bees. Things I'd love even more: option of a screened bottom board for hotter climates. I can buy separately but would have been easier to just add on to here. Me being lazy and no reflection on this product...haha Also would have loved the foundations coming pre-waxed. Wax options I see here see are not so great as far as reviews, and the process of waxing seems tedious. I'd have paid more for the item if pre-waxed foundations had been an option. But I knew this going into the purchase, so no reflection on the product. I was hugely nervous about buying this given the # of reviews and some of the comments, but I'm so far really happy with the purchase. Hope this review helps someone else looking for an affordable and easy option for a hive kit purchase! ... show more

  • Dont forget your wax!
Color: 4 Layer
Acceptable craftsmanship, great price. I was skeptical to purchase at first but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the material. The craftsmanship is decent, could be better. There is quite a bit of chipping on the wood layers which of course is not ideal, and where the wood has been laminated you can feel the separation if you were to run your nail over it. However, most of it is cosmetic and as long as you paint it with a couple of good coats, it shouldn't present any issues later on. For the price, I think this was a steal. One thing I wish they had was the option to wax-coat the frames, and if you were wondering about the title of my review, that is what I was referring to. The frames come unwaxed and it is bare plastic. Which means, bees are less likely to accept it and are more likely to avoid it and build around. So, you will need a couple of pounds of wax and a was melter or an old pot to melt it and brush over the foundations a few coats, in order for the bees to be more likely to accept it. Overall, out of 10, I'd give this purchase an overall score of 7.5. Now, the rest will be determined by how long it lasts out in the world. Hopefully, I will not be disappointed. But so far it seems like a solid choice. ... show more

  • Minor damage, but company quickly made things right.
Color: Burly Wood
Overall this is a great value for the money. The dovetailed ends fit together relatively well, however some minor modification(2 pins slightly too wide) was needed on one piece out of all 3 boxes. Went together easily. I did end up predrilling and nailing all boxes together on both pin and tail sides. I did not use the included nails for the frames as I felt they were far to beefy and instead used my pneumatic staple gun. I did have a damaged bottom board in the box(could have been damaged in shipping as box had minor external damage), but upon contacting the company they issued a partial refund. Enough that I would be able to source a new bottom board. Would gladly buy this item again. ... show more

  • Good value!!
Color: 4 Layer
Pieces fit together without having to file anything down. Went together like it should. Seems sturdy. I’m going to add another layer of beeswax to the foundation though. Would buy again!!

  • Five stars, plus! Great customer service!
Color: Burly Wood
I purchased two sets of these hives and I'm very pleased. Although one of the bottom boards was damaged in shipping (must have been some rough handling!) CREWORKS promptly sent out a replacement board within two days of me posting pictures of the damaged bottom board. However, the best part of this story is how well made the parts are. There are over 250 wooden parts in the two boxes I ordered and all but the one aforementioned bottom board are near perfect. You can see in the first photo how well the hive boxes fit on top of each other and how precisely the boards are cut. (Note that I use my own nails to assemble the boxes.) The second photo shows how well the frames went together. Overall, I'm very pleased with the product and especially pleased with CREWORKS customer service. I will be buying again! ... show more

  • Second purchase
Color: 4 Layer
I have bought this exact hive twice now. It is no different than my other two hives of other brands, sturdy, easy to assemble and holds up well. I treat mine yearly with bees wax and linseed oil. I have had two hive stand show signs of deterioration but not the hive it's self. Great product for both the new and seasoned keeper! ... show more

Poor QC, soft cheep wood. The seller did help with some issues. Just be aware you might be a little underwhelmed.

  • Joints are precise
Color: Burly Wood
This was my second beehive. It went together much easier than the first one, because all the joints were precise. It took my husband and I about 2-1/2 hours. Good quality wood. Very good price.
