Honey Keeper Beehive 10 Frame Kit Super Box and 10 Deep Frames with Foundations for Langstroth Beekeeping

When I first opened the box, I thought "Holy crap, what did I get myself into!!!" In spite of looking like a jenga game, it is very simple to put together. I didn't use glue, 'cause here in east Texas, it melts in the summer and makes a heck of a nasty mess. I haven't used the nails yet, I'll finish that tomorrow. I will drill pilot holes, so I don't split the wood. I was extremely skeptical about buying this online. I must say I am very pleased with it!! Absolutely excellent quality, very well made. I wish I'd gotten my entire hive from them, I would've stained it instead of painting, this box is very nice looking! I will buy from these folks again when it's time to add another box (or, over the grumblings of my not-so-enthusiastic husband, another hive....). If you want a quality product at a decent price, this is it!!

Surprisingly really good quality for a product from China. The joints fit perfectly, no issues whatsoever. I've bought them twice now, for a total of seven of these kits. The only downside is that the frames are not pre-waxed. I usually add more wax anyways, so this was not much of an issue for me. Make sure to pre-drill holes to avoid splitting. I had one box split a little, but there was a large knot there and I should have drilled the hole deeper.

This was very easy to assemble, as all parts were properly sized. This fit together easily by hand. Obviously I used a hammer for the nails but that was it. Great product.

Well made joints. Assembly was easy. Painted them and we'll see how long they last.

I had to return this item because i made a mistake and bought a 10 frame kit and not an 8 frame kit.

I'm building up my bee yard and this is what I am using. I can build tops and bottom boards all day long but these boxes are well made for the price. The frame foundation has 0 wax.. "0".. and that is fine for me because I have to rub wax on even the waxed ones anyway so I'm wondering why the sellers even bother. I can go 3-4 deep for what I would pay for a hive and would rather get honey from deeps anyway.

It does not have pre-drilled holes, so make sure you do that. It comes with nails for the box and the frames. Also, the foundations aren’t waxed.

These are nice brood boxes. Assembled them without issues. Definitely need to predrill the holes for the nails, otherwise you will end up splitting the fingers on the boxes. Plenty of nails included so you can nail every finger from both directions. Would definitely buy again. Painted them after the fact with 2 coats of exterior paint, should last a longtime.
