Ok so I am totally a new Bee Ha Ha to this hobby and felt this is a good entry level hive. The hive was very well packaged and received no damage at all. The outer frame has a good thick coating of wax on it and the frame when together well. The inner sections while stated no glue is needed is hard to believe because you will need to either nail it or glue it. The inner frames will not stay together without one or the other. I choose to use waterproof wood glue. The entire hive went together very well and should hold up to several years out in the weather. No just got to get some bees to do some work..Hope this helps and thanks..

Impressed with the wood quality. Frames were easy to assemble once I had one or two under my belt. At the advice of other beekeepers, we drilled 1/4 inch holes in the upper corners of each frame to allow bee passage.

Good quality! Very sturdy! Well made! Definitely worth the craftsmanship. Good price as well! Good first year boxes to start with. No complaints!

Well made hive boxes. Went together quickly and easily. Natural flaws in the wood had been patched with wood filler and sanded smooth. Joints were accurate and tight. Holes were pre-drilled for screws. Lid, cover board and bottom board are all solid and well made. Over all a top quality bee hive. I was impressed when the first one came so I bought a second one. It's just as good. Well pleased.

Super easy to assemble. All you need to start a hive only thing missing are some nails. Already bought another it was so simple.

These beehives I bought from you are not of good quality and they came with missing materials. 20 deep frames and 10 medium sized frames and glass were missing.

I wish they still sold this version. I don’t like the ones with the windows in them. These were great, inexpensive and went together easily.

Internal width is 15mm too long. Frames cannot fill the cavity. Assembly very easy, will have to see how the plastic foundation works. Pretty good otherwise.

Good quality and easy of assembly looks great and great functionality all parts were included awesome addition for the price the stand make even better good starter kit

Two get 3 dovetail corner boxes with frames, lid, inner cover and base is an incredible buy for the money. The wax finish looks good and is more weather resistant than the whitewash I see on some other boxes. The frames have the taper sides which is a far superior design for bee access. Many mass produced hives I see use straight sides which is an inferior design. A few nit-picks which knocked off 1 star for me: Base is basic. Screen and bottom board are essential for inspecting hives for mites. Today every hive needs mite control. Nails were short on number, some missing heads, some with shovel tips, one bent. Nails are cheap, add a few extras to offset the defective ones or ones bent due to a knot in the wood. One frame side wasn't finished being cut and was unusable. Small things but for a beginner, this becomes a major obstacle. I have other parts I could substitute in. A beginner probably doesn't and would find these obstacles a major setback.
