Assembly was phenomenal
I purchased this as I prepare for next years honey bee acquisition! I am absolutely in love with this hive!!I had previously had spinal surgery. So I have about a 20 lb lift. But this was so amazing and simple. I did need a screw driver , hammer, wood glue and a carpenters square.These are so nicely waxed, the parts were tight fitting at dove tails. It went together easily. I did use wood glue on the internal frames. Nailed them in each corner.I’d highly recommend this hive to anyone who is new to bees like myself. The value of the hive itself is absolutely wonderful in this economy.This hive is all inclusive. Even the door adjuster.. I’m in love with it. Beautiful solid built for durability.Pre drilled for easy assembly. I will be purchasing a second hive. Do not be intimidated by the build. It was so easy. I called this my jinga box .. so many pieces I was intimidated at first. I built the bee boxes first. Then took my time adding the assembled frames. It took me just a little over 4 hours. But if you’re healthy and strong with a good stand and lift ability. It would probably be a lot less.I highly recommend this product. I just can’t say enough good about it.

Well made, good quality!
Very happy with this product. Solid wood everywhere, no OSB. Screw holes predrilled on boxes, frames fit together well. Comes with screws however we opted to buy stainless screws as it appears these hives are going to last a long time. Frames need assembling, not a big deal but a bit tedious as there are 40 of them, we have a 2" brad nail gun which makes this a LOT easier, went stainless on the nails also. The boxes are fully waxed, no skimping there. This seems much preferable to painting raw wood, no paint needed! Bottom and top pre assembled. I think this hive is a great value for the money!

Good quality kit.
This is a kit for a full bee hive. It is well done. The parts are cut accurately and fit well. I got this all together including all 40 frames in a couple hours. It is not difficult with basic tools. Power tools make it alot quicker of course. Will see how well the wax finish holds up and how well the bees take to it when it warms up. Getting another nuc in a few weeks. So far I recommend this product.

Great hive
The media could not be loaded. I’m doing this review in February. I bought this hive last April. It did great through the winter! The price is much less than other hives I’ve seen but the quality is impressive. It’s a standard size Langstroth. The wood had a good wax coating on it initially. It will probably need to be painted in the future. I’m really pleased with this purchase.

Good materials, cuts are precise, easy to assemble. Poor lid design.
Really liked the wood, the wax, the solid construction, the predrilled screw holes, the extra screws and nails so there was not stress about coming up short. Workmanship was very good. The pieces fit together very well.We ordered two hives. Between them only one small piece arrived broken and we were able to glue and nail it back together.There is only one issue - the inner cover doesn't have a narrow slot cut in it for ventilation and for hot air to escape. Other reviewers have noted that so it wasn't a surprise.We would (and will) buy again.

Nice beehive!
We ordered this beehive to become the new home for a hive of bees we wanted to transfer from an abandoned house. It was a great price. Assembly was fairly easy, all parts were included. It looks very sturdy and is a great quality beehive.

Much better craftsmanship
I have put together several different hives over the years and as far as this one is concerned it’s much better craftsmanship than others, it goes together easily it’s tight not too tight that you must hammer hard or do some extra woodwork on the dovetails. The predrilled boxes are nice I was able to assemble all of those quickly without issues ( if using a drill / driver set it low to avoid cracking the pine ) the frames were also better quality than others I have bought also a breeze to assemble with nice wax coated foundation I believe this box will last for several years with little maintenance and the bees should do well in it

Assemble with neumatic finish nailer!! No glue included
Everything fit together well all but a few loose pieces that easily wood glued and nailed, I split the first frame by hand with the nails provided so I quickly got my finish nailer and worked great! Screwgun helps I can't imagine driving by hand.. find your handyman or assemble in shop, great coating of bees wax on frame inserts and hive boxes, sturdy build this will last! Just take time with assembly and get a patient helper to assemble quickly and be glueing ahead my glue cap kept drying in between frames.. took me 1 hour 25 mins after digging out all the stuff from storage/clean up and final assembly. Fairly experienced carpenter. For the price it's a no brainier how could I give any less than 5 stars exactly what it claims only thing that scares me is a few rough edges on plastic queen excluder like all the other plastic ones I've seen rough on workers wings I'll probably use it for emergency only or multi use it somewhere else.. pretty wood grain and I'm told it looks better than the white painted hive next to it, it does..
