Customer Reviews for VEVOR Bee Hive 40 Frame Bee Hives Starter Kit, Beeswax Coated Cedar Wood, 2 Deep + 2 Medium Bee Boxes Langstroth Beehive Kit, Transparent Acrylic Windows with Foundations for Beginners Pro Beekeepers

Boxes are made with good wood. Everything fit together very well, including the tapered dovetails, and boxes were perfectly square. Frames are the traditional shape not a new variant. Black foundations are not wax coated but I didn’t care at all with the quality of the hive. Couldn’t ask for a better deal.

Easy to put together. Made of raw pine so I put two coats of oil based paint on exterior parts for protection. Minimal splintering of wood from manufacturing.

This is a great beehive! The best price I have seen for a new unassembled beehive with 2 Deep Brood Boxes and 2 medium honey Supers. It even has a metal covered telescoping lid and a wooded bottom. Easy to assemble. For beginners you just need one of the large deep boxes with the frames and the lid. You can add the other large deep box and frames and honey supers as the hive grows. The outside of the wooden frames can be painted.in any outdoor color you want.

These hives were very well built and assembled nicely with a great fit on the joints. It was a pleasure to put them together.

Both boxes were easy to assemble, they are strong when assembled

Good lumber and assembles easily very satisfied with the purchase

I purchased 4 of these hive kits and received them in short time. The boxes were completely mangled but to my surprise, not 1 piece was missing. The reason for a 4 out of 5 was due to some warped sides on the deep boxes(2) and some frame bottom rails(3). I was able to use a big enough hammer to construct all parts and make them usable. The foundation that is provided with these is not waxed foundation, so I had to purchase and complete that as well. All of that being said, I will be ordering more as our farm continues to grow. Hope this helps.

The kit containing the Langstroth with the exception of a queen excluder, has everything needed to make a fully functional hive. The frames fit together nicely and I used staples to hold the frames and boxes together along with glue to seal the holes around the dovetail joints. Some of the box joints were very tight and required tapping together with a plastic hammer causing some of the edges to split out slightly, but this just aided to the rigidity of the construction. After painting and assembling onto a wooden platform, I have a great looking and functional apiary for my pets.

The bee hive went together well. Cuts were precise and all parts needed were there. I was going to order several more, but they ran out of stock beforehand.

Easy assembly
