  • The best bang for the buck!!!!
Model: HFB-233C-00
I have read all the bad reviews, and I cannot believe people would write a bad review about this bee hive. I have bought 3 of these hives. One thing before buying you better have common sense about building anything out of wood.. The entire build is easy, if you know what you are doing and if you have the correct tools. First thing, I did not use the supplied nails! If you have to use the nail, I suggest NOT to buy this product. If you have to use the nails, maybe getting a nuc of bees is not the right choice for you. Granted, most people do not have an electric or air brad nail gun. If you are looking into raising bees as a hobby or to try to make a living, invest in a brad, or 1/4 18 gauge staple gun. I have built 3 of these kits, the first 2 I used an inch brad nailer. The third one I used a1/4 - 1 1/12 inch staple gun. I am sticking with the 1/4 inch air stapler. Using one of these tools, you better know how they work or you might put a staple through your finger. My last one i used 1 1/2 finishing staples for every part, even the frames. The tools I used were: Hammer, Titebond 3 wood glue, and an air staple gun. If you are building one of these kits, the Glue also works as a lubricant to hammer the dovetail joints together. I love the fact the boxes are made of cedar wood. Cedar can withstand the elements and is long lasting with out rotting. Once painted it should last for years. I defiantly plan buying more of these kits. The price is right and it is a great product. ... show more

  • Great hive and price
Model: HFB-233C-00
The hive boxes and frames are cut so well that assembly is very easy. They are strong and sturdy boxes. The frame also go together easily, Excellent customer service and response time to questions.

  • I think mine was a return. Missing and broken pieces were disappointi
Model: HFB-233C-00
Update: Seller contacted me and resolved the issue. 5 star customer service!! This was a great bargain, and I really needed new hive boxes and frames as my apiary grew by 4 colonies in a week. Unfortunately, I think I must have gotten a return or something. The first clue was the condition of the box, and upon opening it, I found it had no telescoping or inner cover, three of the deep frame pieces were broken, and although two packs of foundation were wrapped up, the third was loose and all over. Id return it, but the box was taped up all over the place and the corner was crushed pretty badly when it arrived, so I have nothing to package it back up in!!! The positives: I don’t mind that the frames were unwaxed, as that’s easy enough to do myself. The boxes came together well and the wood is nice and takes paint easily. The craftsmanship is good, save for the broken frame sides, and it’s as easy to put together as any other hive I’ve assembled. Now I have to buy more frames and lids, so I’m not thrilled about that. ... show more

  • Easy-ish Assembly
Model: HFB-233C-00
Super easy to assemble the boxes and the trays, ONLY if you have a Brad nailer. If not, then I don't see you being able to assemble this without a lot of glue. Hand nailing just doesn't appear to be a viable option. Took oil based paint really well.

  • Five stars, plus! Great customer service!
Model: HFB-233C-00
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

  • Cuts off
Model: HFB-233C-00
This hive is okay, okay if you are in a bind and need one quick. The dove tail cuts weren't matching up correctly 100%. Had to do some trimming and extra work in order to get the pieces to fit firmly like they should. I guess the saying goes you get what you pay for. The contents weren't bundled together for the frames as they were just thrown in there like "we got an order!, hurry put it in the box ship it out"! Opened the box and thankfully I know how to assemble hives, but for a newbie doing it good luck cause there wasn't any instructions when opened. Other than that it's what you get for the money as stated before. Take your time and pick quality hives that are waxed and waxed foundations. The foundations aren't wax but that is okay as I always extra wax mine anyways. Would I buy again, yeah probably not. ... show more
