Hoover Hives bee hive's golden honey glow comes from our patent-pending wax-coating process. Every bee hive is first steeped in our proprietary blend of organic waxes that penetrate and preserve the wood. After this first cure, we then plunge these bee hives deep into a pool of 100% natural beeswax. With waxed walls, your bees can comfortably make their new hive into their new home. This double wax-coating is also what highlights the flow of the wood grain while paint would only mask its natural beauty. |
Hoover Hives bee hive boxes have an unrivaled degree of craftsmanship. Our precision-cut dovetail joints match up every time and make assembly a breeze. Dovetail joints are essential if you want to keep your bee hive perfectly square without the use of extra wood-working tools. For this project, you'll simply need a hammer. With this kind of accuracy in every cut, your bee hive will avoid unwanted gaps that would cause extra work for your bees. |
Hoover Hives' exterior dimensions are cut to the Industry Standard. Hive parts are completely interchangeable with any other standard Langstroth beehive. While the Industry Standard would suggest the wood to be a minimum of 1/2", Hoover Hives uses 3/4" thick wood to provide your bees with insulation during both winter and summer. With insulation, your bees won't have to spend time controlling the temperature. Instead, they can spend time collecting pollen & nectar to produce honey. |

| Which Bee Hive Should I Choose? | In the north, winters are long. Having 2 deep brood boxes allows your queen to have plenty of space to lay her eggs in the early spring when it's too cold to add on a bee hive box. | In the south, it's warm enough that you can add a box on top of your bee hive without the fear of letting the cold in. Southern Hives don't need two dedicated deep brood boxes for winter. | This Starter Hive comes with everything you need except the bees. The most common way to buy bees is by buying 5 full frames in a 'Nuc'. This 5-frame starter beehive is 'Nuc Ready'. | The Lite Hive makes a great holiday or birthday gift. It's the perfect bee hive for people who don't know if beekeeping is a hobby they want to get into. We beelieve in you! | Both the Northern Hive and the Southern Hive have fully assembled options. Assembling the bee hive is easy, however, it can be time-consuming. If your bees are on the way, this might be your best choice. |

- (1) Telescoping Top Cover Capped with Galvanized Steel (100% Wax-Coated)(18-1/2″ x 22″ x 2-7/8″)

| Will I Need These? | Screened Bottom Boards are a wonderful way to help beat the summer heat. Like opening a window in your house, they'll help create more airflow. With a cooler bee hive, your bees can spend less time "bearding" and more time collecting pollen & nectar. | Medium Honey Supers are 3" shorter than Deep Brood Boxes. Their shorter frames & foundations make them easier to handle when they're full of honey. They fill up quickly so you'll likely need 1 to 3 more of them within the first couple of years. | Deep Brood Boxes have 3 more inches of room per frame. This means that your queen won't have to stop as often to look for her next frame as she's laying eggs. You may want more of these beehive boxes if you'd like a higher population per bee hive. |

My bees love it…
I am a first time bee keeper and decided to order my hive from Amazon. It had really good reviews. My husband put it together in 2-3 days just working an hour or so each evening. We used wood glue based on a you tube instructional video and my husband used his air nailer which made the process a lot faster. We had a few wood splits but nothing major. We started w a 5 frame nuc and so far the bees are fitting right in!! I would definitely order again!

Complete Hive, Affordable, Craftsmanship
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022
This is the complete UNASSEMBLED hive. If you understand the Langstroth hive and are familiar with its components, the assembly is very easily completed. If you are not familiar with Langstroth style hives and the components, just hop on YouTube and watch a video, this will help with the assembly. I have compared the Hoover 10 frame hive with numerous reputable websites and have found this to be the most affordable complete hive, just add your bee’s! I would recommend that you pre drill a hole for the portion that you nail (on the hive bodies) so that you can avoid any splitting in the wood. Some frames may split when nailed, but that is to be expected. I used wood glue on the frames as well. Overall I am very happy with my purchase of 4 Hoover hives. Thank you!
