MayBee 10-Frame Langstroth Beehive Dipped in 100% Beeswax, Complete Bee Hives and Supplies Starter Kit Includes 2 Deep Hive Bee Box and 2 Bee Hive Super with Beehive Frames and Foundation

The quality is better than good, much to my surprise. The dovetails are accurately cut, everything aligned perfectly upon assembly. Speaking of assembly, this kit obviously requires a bit of it, so don't think it's gonna l going to be plug and play. You'll need wood glue, a drill/driver and a hammer (small ball peen works best for the small brad nails). All the wood is thoroughly coated in beeswax. This hive is manufactured well. Three grain on the wood gives a very nice appearance. There is no chemical smell typically associated with products from this part of the earth. In fact, quite the contrary, the smell from the wood and the wax is most prevalent. The wood for the body of the hive is 3/4" thick board, so it's quite substantial. I would recommend using some higher quality screws for assembly of the hive, as the provided screws are a bit short for my liking. Let's see how it does with some bees in it.

I purchased this as I prepare for next years honey bee acquisition! I am absolutely in love with this hive!! I had previously had spinal surgery. So I have about a 20 lb lift. But this was so amazing and simple. I did need a screw driver , hammer, wood glue and a carpenters square. These are so nicely waxed, the parts were tight fitting at dove tails. It went together easily. I did use wood glue on the internal frames. Nailed them in each corner. I’d highly recommend this hive to anyone who is new to bees like myself. The value of the hive itself is absolutely wonderful in this economy. This hive is all inclusive. Even the door adjuster.. I’m in love with it. Beautiful solid built for durability. Pre drilled for easy assembly. I will be purchasing a second hive. Do not be intimidated by the build. It was so easy. I called this my jinga box .. so many pieces I was intimidated at first. I built the bee boxes first. Then took my time adding the assembled frames. It took me just a little over 4 hours. But if you’re healthy and strong with a good stand and lift ability. It would probably be a lot less. I highly recommend this product. I just can’t say enough good about it.

My kids and I had so much fun putting this together... Very easy to assemble and very sturdy compared to others I've bought in the past.

Really liked the wood, the wax, the solid construction, the predrilled screw holes, the extra screws and nails so there was not stress about coming up short. Workmanship was very good. The pieces fit together very well. We ordered two hives. Between them only one small piece arrived broken and we were able to glue and nail it back together. There is only one issue - the inner cover doesn't have a narrow slot cut in it for ventilation and for hot air to escape. Other reviewers have noted that so it wasn't a surprise. We would (and will) buy again.

Very happy with this product. Solid wood everywhere, no OSB. Screw holes predrilled on boxes, frames fit together well. Comes with screws however we opted to buy stainless screws as it appears these hives are going to last a long time. Frames need assembling, not a big deal but a bit tedious as there are 40 of them, we have a 2" brad nail gun which makes this a LOT easier, went stainless on the nails also. The boxes are fully waxed, no skimping there. This seems much preferable to painting raw wood, no paint needed! Bottom and top pre assembled. I think this hive is a great value for the money!

I’m doing this review in February. I bought this hive last April. It did great through the winter! The price is much less than other hives I’ve seen but the quality is impressive. It’s a standard size Langstroth. The wood had a good wax coating on it initially. It will probably need to be painted in the future. I’m really pleased with this purchase.

First time beekeeper. My hive arrived quickly and looked great, easy to assemble. I did have a broken part and it was replaced very quickly after reporting. I can't wait to get started.

This is a kit for a full bee hive. It is well done. The parts are cut accurately and fit well. I got this all together including all 40 frames in a couple hours. It is not difficult with basic tools. Power tools make it alot quicker of course. Will see how well the wax finish holds up and how well the bees take to it when it warms up. Getting another nuc in a few weeks. So far I recommend this product.
