Features

  • [Thicker and Full Beeswax Coating] - BeeCastle hives are fully soaked in the boiled beeswax(the beeswax deeply soaks into the wood to form a waxy coating),which makes BeeCastle Hives more durable and waterproof than other waxed beehives. Beekeepers no longer have to paint their bee hives, saving effort and convenience.
  • [Superior Design]- This beehive has pre-cut dovetail joints and pre-drilled holes, which make assembly easier.The dovetail design is not only easy to assemble but also very tight fitting with stronger and longer support for the beehive box.The wooden frames of the bee hives also come with dovetails.
  • [Durable and Safe Material]- Cedarwood material has a high level of stability, which prevents BeeCastle hives from shrinking, expanding, cracking or warping than other woods. Also, BeeCastle hives provide good insulation in the winter and rapid heat dissipation in the summer, which create a ventilated,comfortable and safe environment for your bees.
  • [Standrad Size]- Deep Brood Bee Boxes (14-1/4 x 19-7/8 x 9-5/8) and Medium Super Boxes (14-1/4 x 19-7/8 x 6-5/8). This 8 frame beehive is a standard Langstroth beehive dimension.

  • Very good quality - great customer service!
Size: 3 Layers
The media could not be loaded. These beehives are very sturdy. It comes in a box disassembled but it's not hard to put it together...just takes a bit of time since you have to assemble all the frames as well as the main structure. Comes with a plastic queen excluder, a bottom brood box, 2 honey boxes, a roof, and an entrance limiter. Highly coated in wax so you don't have to paint or stain it. Looks really good. I built 2 of these. It did take a good few hours but that's because you have to assemble each frame with glue and nails but everything fits perfectly once you get it assembled. Update: I bought a third one of these and parts of it split while I was assembling it. Didn't have this issue with the first two. I contacted the seller and they sent replacements (and more!) The very next day without any fuss or hassle at all! I'll definitely be buying my bee supplies from these guys exclusively from now on! Edit on 4-17-22: ok.... after buying more from a different company, all I'm gonna say is that I wish I had just gone ahead and paid the extra bit of money and got the hives from these guys. ... show more

  • Surpassed my expectations
Size: 3 Layers
The quality was more than I hoped for. It was fun and easy to assemble. The wood is beautiful. Everything but glue was included to assemble the hive body. The dovetail joints fit like a glove. This is all exceptional considering the price. I don't plan on ever ordering another pine hive body.

  • Assembly Required - Excellent Hive
Size: 3 Layers
This hive box requires assembly. I'd recommend a brad nailer instead of the small nails provided to minimize the splitting of the wood pieces particularly with the thinner frames. Also, it speeds the assembly part up. The kit is well-manufactured. I wanted to transfer a feral colony that moved into my yard into a new hive box and the BeeCastle was perfect. The next step is to replace the Africanized queen with a European queen once they settle into their new hive home. ... show more

  • Great looking bee hive!!!!
Size: 3 Layers
I received this shipment about 2 day's early. The packaging was well done and contents organized making examination simple and assembly quick. Of course I added glue to every joint which was not really necessary. The wax buildup in the dovetails made it hard to join the pieces but I used my heat gun for just a few seconds and they slid together in an almost prefect corner. I did end up splitting one piece at the top edge as I put in the screw. I avoided that on all the others by hand tightening the screw for the final few turns. I did notice a few nails that were bent but there were extra so no problem. Love the quality and look of these hives. I would advise anyone to purchase these products. Top quality and they look fantastic. ... show more

  • Very nice bee box
Size: 3 Layers
I usually buy one of the name brand Bee boxes so I took a chance on this one. I am very glad I did. I am so happy with this. It was extremely easy to put together and the quality is very very nice. All the parts actually fit together without a bunch of fuss. It is coated which is very nice to make it waterproof. I was going to do a walk away split with my current Hive into this one but two days after I put this together I looked out and there was a swarm in the tree right outside my porch. How lucky is that! I grabbed that swarm and put it in this new box and they are doing great. I think if you buy this you will be very happy. ... show more

  • Good quality
Size: 3 Layers
While the directions are very simple and not very clear, the boxes and frames are relatively simple to assemble. You do need to pick up wood glue in order to assemble. I did have to buy a vented bottom box and a miller top feeder from my local bee store for the area I’m keeping bees (the painted blue ones in the picture). All around, it’s great and I would buy this bee box starter again!! ... show more
