## Description

Product Name: BeeCastle 10 Frame Langstroth Beehive 100% Beeswax Coating, Honeycomb Frame and Wax Foundation (2 deep boxes and 2 medium boxes) Thick and full beeswax coating - BeeCastle hive boxes are completely dipped in boiled beeswax (beeswax penetrates deep into the wood creating a waxy coating), BeeCastle Hives are more durable and waterproof than other waxed honeycombs. The beekeeper eliminates the need to paint a hive box and saves you hassle and convenience. Sturdy construction The dovetail design of the honeycomb and honeycomb frame is not only easy to assemble, but also very tight fitting with strong support. This design makes the nesting box more durable and long lasting. Superior craftsmanship and high quality wood ensure tight joints and lasting durability. Material Details The honeycomb box is made of premium solid cedar wood. Stronger and more durable than other materials. The honeycomb wood frame is made of pine. The honeycomb frame foundation sheet is made of food grade plastic and treated with beeswax to make it easy to accept the foundation sheet to the bee. [Material advantage] The cedar wood material is more stable and prevents BeeCastle's nesting boxes from shrinking, swelling, cracking and warping than other woods. Besides, BeeCastle nesting boxes have good insulation in winter, heat dissipation rapidly in summer, creating a breathable, comfortable and safe environment. Size: Deep Bee Hive Box (16-1/4" x 19-7/8" x 9-5/8") Medium Super Bee Nest Box (16-1/4" x 19-7/8" x 6-5/8") Deep honeycomb frame (9-9/16" x 19") Honeycomb Frame (6-5/8" x 19") Package List: 1 x metal top cover, 1 x inner cover, 1 x Queen extruder 1 x Solid Bottom Board, 1 x Entry Reducer 2 Medium Super Bee Boxes, 2 Brood Deep Bee Boxes 20 x Medium Honeycomb Frame (including beeswax plastic foundation) 20 x Deep Beehive Frames (including beeswax plastic foundation) Screws and nails for assembly

Review: Here’s a quick review if you don’t want to read my entire one: It’s cheap, it works, the wax may not be bees wax and everything arrived in one piece and went together well. ——— As a beginner bee keeper who’s looking for quality and also cost effective, this does the job pretty well so far. I haven’t used it outside, but straight out of the box it fit well, comes with a few extra nails and screws, no knots where it could be detrimental to the structure. The pre drilled holes made it easy and only one frame ever got a little crack from the nails. It did take us a few hours to put together. The roof did have some sharp corners so we just hammered it down a bit so it didn’t cut our hands. The Queen excluder was a little larger than our actual box so it stuck out on the side which we could probably just cut off and the bees will seal any cracks from it to the box. The frames are covered in wax but it’s very thin, (some reviews said bees would not build on it, my bees are picky too so we’ll see this spring.) I had to really look for it to even notice it. It seems most bad reviews are about broken pieces and the wax not being bees wax. It looks like the picture and is covered in some kind of wax but I can’t say it’s bees wax with 100% certainty. The wax also gets everywhere so be aware when you’re putting it together. 😅 I don’t expect it to last for years and once the “wax” comes off I’ll probably have to paint it so the boxes are protected from weather. For now though it works and I hope it holds up outside. Be aware it doesn’t come with a stand so you’ll have to get one separately (which I’ll just make one with some wood beams and cinder blocks.) Compared to the natural hive from Dr. Leo the box is thin, (he compares it to the more natural ways bees are kept like in hollow trees.) So yeah it’s pretty thin in that regard but if you don’t mind and are just looking for a “standard” langstroth box, it’s standard and you’ll need a cover in the winter. —— So far my overall review is 5/5 stars and I’ll update this review when I find out how it lasts long term.
Review: Easy to assemble and bees haven’t left to find a new home.

This is the first hive I have assembled from a kit. If you are an old hand at constructing furniture from IKEA kits you will have no problem. The instructions were minimal. You definitely need a mallet, a hammer and a Philips screwdriver.
