About this item
- 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐰𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 - Bee hive is 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 Box (14-1/4″ x 19-7/8″ x 9-5/8″) and Medium Super Box (14-1/4″ x 19-7/8″ x 6-5/8″). This 8 frame beehive is a standard Langstroth beehive dimension.
- 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐢𝐭- This 8 frame bee hive starter kit includes Metal Top Cover, Inner Cover, Queen Excluder, Solid Bottom Board, Entrance Reducer, Screws and Nails for Assembly, 1 Medium Box, 1 Deep Box and 16pcs beehive frames and beeswaxed foundations.

Best Birthday Gift!!
It is beautifully smooth for my bees and gorgeous on the outside. It’s functionality allows us to customize it for the needs of our bees.
Best birthday gift of my life!!
Excellent.
Excellent. Sturdy, easy to put together, everything is waxed, my bees came to check it out while building it.
A quality hive!
This kit is the bees knees as it were - quality wood, quality joints and quality frames. If you don't have the time or the tools to make your own boxes, you won't be disappointed with the products at Bee Castle.
Great .
so the quality of the hive and pieces is very good. I had an issue when assembling it where they send me 2 of the same pieces. But after I contacted BeeCastle they were very quick to reply and take care of the issue. thanks.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
All the joints were tight and strong.
The written instructions were reasonable, but there is a video instruction referenced on the provided documentation.
I was a bit surprised there was not a groove on the sides of frame to hold the plastic panels but I think the panels themselves are pretty sturdy and the top and bottom grooves should suffice.
Its an attractive box at first but I'm sure a year in the weather will change that. I'm already wondering how I'm going to paint it with the wax coating its deliver with.
Its a small hive, only 8 frames, which is fine for me as I'm only trying to provide some relief for the wild bee hives already in my yard but it wont be spring before I know if the bees will take to this hive.
Once can always stack on a brood or/and super box to it.
The metal roof is a nice touch, maintenance free from water damage.

The only issue I have with Bee Castle is the products are from China. I have friends in forestry and manufacturing industries in the US and Canada that would love to see this quality of products made at home.

The only issue I have with Bee Castle is the products are from China. I have friends in forestry and manufacturing industries in the US and Canada that would love to see this quality of products made at home.
They were delivered quick and no damage.
Outer boxes appear to be cedar and are nicely waxed.
The instructions are really, really basic but it's easy to figure out once the parts are laid out. Screws and nails were included but it wasn't clear what screws went where.
Dovetail pieces for the boxes went together tightly and had to use a hammer.
I glued every frame and always use TiteBond3 on my wood projects. TiteBond3 is non-toxic, food safe and has incredible strength. I also used smaller nails as the nails provided will split wood if one doesn't pick up a hammer all year. Air or electric nailer would be great and speed up the process.
Foundation sheets didn't fit tight and slide a little in the frame. They won't come out but slide about a 1/4 inch. Not sure if it's supposed to do that.
They look great and I have one more to assemble. Looking to buy bees soon. Can't wait!
I will update after some use.
