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.

Easy to assemble - no splintering
Really easy to assemble layers. Good photo diagram and part diagram. Assembled in about an hour and I am not that experienced with assembling things or bee hives. First hive. Good amount of bee wax on wood. All the right parts in box, no splintering during assembling, and screw hikes all lined up easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to assemble, Solid Fit and Finish and Very Sturdy
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2023
Easy to assemble. I used a rubber mallet to drive in the dovetails. All the needed wood screws were provided.
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our Bee Castle products have been great.
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2023
We are new bee keepers and bought the Bee Castle 8 Frame Bee Hive Complete Kit, 100% Beeswax Coated Bee Hive to get us started. I have several reviews for Bee Castle based on our purchases. The wood is solid, the joints are tight and the overall quality is great. The assembly was challenging on the first build but afterwards we are able to get it completed in about 30 minutes.
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.

Bought the kits from amazon, but also purchased extra super boxes from the Bee Castle Company website. Im giving 5 stars, even though I did end up getting a bee box that was sightly damaged upon arrival, im rating 5 stars because the company immediately resolved the issue and sent me another box as replacement hassle free. The instructions were pretty clear, and I think the bees are going to be very happy in their new boxes!

I am very impressed with this beehive. It was very easy to assemble and is well-built. Everything fit perfectly. I recommend purchasing a set of hive feet to resist ant invasion. I fill mine with grease, once the ants learn they cannot access the hive, they quit trying.
