    • Decent hive
I like the metal cover on top of the hive, makes it look really nice. All hardware needed to assemble are included. I did have a problem with one of the sides splitting in half from putting a screw in it when I put it together( I put some wood glue on it so I hope it holds). Other than that it's a nice box ... show more

    • Disappointed - Updated
It arrived with incomplete or partially missing product list and missing pieces. I've put hive boxes together before so missing instructions aren't necessarily a cause for panic, but the pieces that were missing are. There were enough parts to put the frames for the super together but not the brood box. The 16 brood frame sides were not included so I can't put the frames together and therefore can't use the hive. The brood frame tops, bottoms, and foundations were received, but are useless without the sides. I can't do anything with this. The boxes went together OK. I definitely recommend using wood glue with the nails. The wood used is very weak/fragile. It reminded me of making planes out of balsa wood when I was a kid so I don't believe it will survive too many Texas seasons. I'm going to paint mine with a good exterior house paint if I ever get the missing parts of the brood box. The nails that came with it are good but you have to be very careful they stay straight or they'll take out a chunk of the box wall. I am very unhappy with this purchase. I will probably think twice, double check, then think twice again, before purchasing anything from this vendor. Update: Their customer service department was very responsive and supplied the missing parts within weeks of my request. The rest of my review stands. ... show more

    • Better, more clear instructions are key to first impressions for new beekeepers and customers
Just put together this box as simply wanting to have some bees to make my dad’s garden more productive. The single, two-paged instruction sheet is wholly inadequate and incomplete in telling the customer-reader everything they need to know. I will list the included items for which there were no instructions as to what to do with them and why I gave a 3 star rating because of them. 1- No instructions for wood bee entrance piece. Do I nail it to the bottom, do I not nail??? 2- Two metals flanges with absolutely no instructions as to what to do with them. Not everyone who buys these kits have had prior beekeeping experience to know what they are for. 3- The large metal piece with tabs and grills on it, which I had to look elsewhere online to finally discover it is a mouse excluder for the entrance. 4- plastic oval that I did realize from common sense it is for the inner cover to keep bees going up into the inner and outer cover areas to make honeycomb there as well. Lastly, there were multiple typos in the scant instructions included with this kit, specifically the word repeat was spelled: repeate. Did a non-native English speaker write this??? Looks like it was. I am a senior technical writer with over 20 years of experience writing documentation for computer applications, user guides, user manuals and the instructions with this hive were seriously lacking. I hope the manufacturers are reading these reviews because if they do, I would love to offer my services to help them write clear, helpful instructions for the customers, especially from a reader’s perspective who has never done beekeeping in their life. You also can’t assume people can get online to watch a how-to video if they don’t understand. The instructions provided with the kit should be enough unto itself. Seriously, contact me. ... show more

Came with everything you need (as far as I know). I'm am a super-new-bee (see what I did there?) -- I got two of these. They were a crazy easy to assemble, assuming you know a little bit about woodworking. You do need to assemble everything, including the frames, but it's very easy. I didn't even bother with the directions, it was so strait-forward. I dry fitted the connections and some of the joints needed a little filing; no big. I used wood glue then drilled pilot holes for the nails. It's a great way to learn about hives and hive construction, especially for a new person. With all the multiple pieces-parts in the kit, not a thing was missing (nothing more frustrating than missing a couple of parts, right?). I just painted them this weekend, which was almost a shame because the wood is gorgeous. Great quality as far as I can tell, especially for the price -- wow, the shipping alone should have cost what this entire kit costs... (don't tell them that). I'm looking forward to purchasing two more very soon... ... show more

I am very happy with my purchase! The wood looks great and high quality. All the pieces went together very smoothly and easily with very little work. The frames, like always are the more difficult to assemble. But with the included nails, it wasn't bad at all. The wood took very well to my primer before painting. The frame foundation's look to be good quality and I love that they included yellow for the honey super and black for the brood box. The black makes it so much easier to see eggs laid inside. Probably the best part though is the price. Prices for wooden hives have sky rocketed and this hive kit has the best price and value. They even include a couple extras like a queen excluder, one way entrance blocker and a metal entrance blocker/queen excluder. I would highly recommend this kit to beginners and veteran bee keepers alike! I'll be buying more soon! ... show more

    • quality
received my bee hive today around 3:00 pm and had it together in less than a couple hours would have been quicker but I pre drilled for the nails so not to crack the wood and glued the joints and took a few breaks since the temperture was 91 today and i am really satisfied with the hive no problems assembling the hive at all, I have read others complain about the directions well they are pretty correct the directions are not much but i am a experienced wood worker so no problem had a couple pieces that I really didn't know what they were for but googled it and its a slide to keep mice out who would have known, when I need another will purchase from this company again ... show more
