Customer Reviews for VEVOR Bee Hive Medium Box Starter Kit, 100% Beeswax Coated Natural Cedar Wood, Langstroth Beehive Kit with 10 Frames and Foundations, Transparent Acrylic Bee Windows for Beginners and Pro Beekeepers

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.

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.

Looks the goods, easy to construct. Half size so is easy to lift around when full. Still more expensive than local suppliers though. Needs to be about $20 cheaper.

Easy assembly

Opening the box was daunting to see all the pieces to assemble. It quickly turned into a rewarding afternoon project. Very happy with quality so far my hive has been in place since June. It looks great and the view ports let you seen the hive grow and progress. I will likely order a second one for next year.
