  • Assembly instructions
Suppliers should include more than two screws in the package. Plus a sketch to show where every item should be placed. There were 3 items with unknown position.

  • Great wax covering, well built.
Beautiful colored hives. Very thick wax. Tight fitting joints makes it more difficult to assemble but may make it more durable in the long run. It took longer to put this brand together. Approx 1 hour compared to the 30 min for other brands. Noticed one knot hole that caused breaking in the box. See picture. Comes with mouse guard and notched inner cover that were not included in other sets. I would probably buy this again. One star off only because of knot causing hole. ... show more

  • Great product! Definitely purchase again
These wax coated hives come unassembled but are fairly easy and intuitive to put together. The most labor intensive part was assembling the frames. Grab a chair and a table, a few minor tools (a power screwdriver will speed the process) some music on your Echo Dot and enjoy this great hobby.

  • Resolution!! (in my favor but I actually prefer both sides are happy)
Second Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Resolution!! (in my favor but I actually prefer both sides are happy) Okay, so after going back and forth for a month with Galena Farms, who sold the box to me, and after I suggested a partial refund to me for the parts that were unrecoverable, or for them to send me the new parts to replace the parts that were unrecoverable, they finally decided to refund my order. This was not absolutely necessary, but considering everything, I think it was a classy move on their part, so I changed my rating to 4 stars for that. If you buy these hive boxes, just be prepared to use your own hardware, drill your own holes, a knife or rasp to shave the wax off the joints and open them a bit, and have a rubber mallet handy to assemble the deeps and super. First Review: 🌟Not easy to assemble. Breaking parts. Nails too big. Boards splitting. 1. Conceptually this is a great idea, however there was no consideration taken in the construction of parts towards the dynamic nature of wood. I have contacted the seller and so far only heard that they were sorry, but I'm looking for a partial refund or a replacement. (Nothing from seller and it's been a week. I got this mid April.) I am completely capable of assembling all kinds of things, but the parts of the hive that are supposed to fit together simply don't. The dove tail joints are nice, but they are too tight even without the coating of wax covering every surface, and it is nearly impossible to assemble without causing immediate damage to the joints. In fact, I'm still figuring out how I will melt the wax out of the joints to get them together. (I've had to carve out the wax since this review) So if you don't have a rubber mallet and extra wood to use with your mallet, a blow-torch to melt the wax, and a lot of patience, you won't get it together without smashing your joints to smithereens. 2. As for the frames, the connection points for assembly are again like 1/16th too tight and wont fit. I have tried to connect the side of the frames to the top of the frames, and the top peg is so wide that when you do manage to fit it into the side frame opening, it splits the wood all the way down destroying the frame part before it is 1/8th into the slot. This is frustrating. 3. The assembly instructions are pathetic, microscopic, and incomplete. 4. The itemized list of what comes in the package and its use is also incomplete. 5. Hardware is missing. The bag of nails supplied with the kit is literally just that; one very flimsy torn plastic bag filled with multiple sizes of nails that are mixed together and also floating around in the box. 6. Finally, I like the bee burned into the box, but not the giant word HOOVER. It is tacky. I sent a message to the seller and am waiting for a response, so I may update my review later afterwards, but for now, I leave 2 stars, and that because the rest of the products seem to be pretty good. The wood is nice and actually an inch thick, not the standard 3/4" which helps with insulation, and the top and bottoms are nicely constructed. Its really just the other stuff I mentioned, but those things are critical to a person assembling the kit without destroying the parts due to poor measurements or lack of rechecking quality control periodically for the correct dimensions. Buy at your own risk. If you have a wood shop and can make adjustments, this kit is for you. If you really just need something to assemble easily as it should, then this kit is most definitely NOT for you. ... show more
