This is super easy to assemble. A great deal for a wood hive. Includes one large brood box and 4 mediums as listed. I'm going to make open bottom frames with short starter wax strips (not usual plastic comb guides) and put a medium below the large, with frames for a larger bee built brood area between the two than the large provides alone. That'll leave 3 honey supers. That'll make this a fine set up. Comes with all you need but frames.Pros: affordable, sturdy, quick assembly, decent quality, totally functional and customizable. Fast shipping.Con: no nails included. (Doesn't include frames but that's listed.)
