Good quality preassembled bee hive all you need is paint and Bees.
Great for someone just starting and be keeping or someone wanting to add a hive. This I hive kit is for someone that does not have the time to assemble their own but has enough time to paint it. I ended up using leftover paint from the house to paint it which makes it more personalized because of the color. A lot of beekeepers will go to Home Depot and buy the ops paint to paint their beehives. I threw some swarm Lewers in there so hopefully maybe I might get lucky and get free bees if there's any swarm activity near me. If not I'll have to go to Plan B and buy a nuc.

I had a situation where there was a bee colony in the hollow of one of my maple trees. The bees were only three foot off the ground. I bought this hive, sprayed it with the lemon grass oil, I put bait inside of the hive...and I waited. That was two or three years ago. The bees were there in 2019, I put the hive next to the tree, all baited up...they explored it, left it. They stayed in the tree until last summer (2020) and then poof, they left. Meanwhile, a swarm of bees came thru, landed in a mulberry tree, less than 20 feet from the hive...fingers crossed, but they didn't like it either and moved on. Mid summer this year (2021), bees returned to my maple tree, stayed until the end of September and are gone again...meanwhile, the hive sits...waiting...empty....so....I may have to purchase bees in order to fill it...if I were a honey bee, I would be interested in living in the hive, it's roomy, nice place to build honey comb....call it home....

Local beekeeper here - Just wanted to say how well these boxes are built. If you’re familiar with other websites like dadant youll see that you can purchase different grades of wood but I assure you when you buy this product you’re getting the best of everything. I’ve built them before and ordered unassembled but this is just much simpler and more affordable. Don’t forget to get some hive staples to attach the bottom board to the brood box! Overall great quality! The plasticell seems to have adequate wax as well. Gonna try out this new breed called Saskatraz.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Box. Fast, high quality construction.
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019

let's start off by saying NO rough edges. Everything is laser straight and there is no split or wood fibers left behind from shotty cuts. Hive door cut with two openings slides in like a bulletin a chamber, perfect. Was 4 day early on order which is great the idiots a a bee supply in Jessep, GA send the bees too early. After receiving the "flow system" which is a complete piece of garbage I was very happy to get a this. It's just a box but the fact that eery little place they could make it perfect they did, right down totes vacuum wrapped metal top, separate boxes for box and parts plus a buffer box for tight transport. These guys really have my vote of confidence. I'll shop with them first before I'll check the web for products now.

I purchased this hive for an extra hive because you can never have too many. Really good lumber in this hive. Not that cheap lumber that’s used in the “cheaper” kits. My only complaint is I wish it came with black foundation rather than the yellow.

So this is my first bee hive. I was a little confused when I was putting it together because there’s no directions but then I used common sense and it became clear. My bees love it. Transferring from the Nuk was easy. It’s heavier which I like so the critters don’t steal my honey. So far it’s a great hive! I can’t wait to add more.
