J’adore ces ruches trempées dans la cire. Peu d’entretien. J’en ai 12 et je vais en acheter d’autres.

Good hive for price

These Bee Hives were of OK quality. We had issues with the frame assembly because on the shallow frames, the foundations would not stay in. Contacted VEVOR and they quickly sent a video on how to fix the problem by shaving down a piece on each frame to make them work. The solution did solve the problem however it was VERY time consuming and a big disappointment.... Other than that, the hives seem ok. Our bees have moved in and everything is going well...

The hive is nice overall but some things could be improved: the acrylic window needs more than just 4 screws to fit nicely, it warps a bit and there is space trough bees could crawl out (i fixed this myself by adding more screws than just the 4 in each corner). The bottom board should be upgraded to AV screen board (I had to buy this separately because this decreases varoa by 15% and its a must in my opinion). The frames are nice but the tops that touch each other should be upgraded to square/triangle top so the bees cant glue them together that much. Also when you are assembling the frames make sure you add 1 horizontal nail in each corner so that when you take out the heavy honey filled frames you don't end up with just the top frame board in your hands, the frames need horizontal nails which the assembly guide doesn't show and the instructions should be upgraded with this. The roof is really nicely made and the hive overall is very pleasant to the eye. One more thing, if you got some bees wax at hand while assembling frames, make sure to "paint" the frame foundations with more wax so the bees accept the plastic foundations more easily. Overall, a nice hive ready to go missing only AV bottom board and some kind of feeder to support newly installed package bees.

I now have 7 of these hives , one occupied by bees see photo , hoping to populate others next season with swarms. One photo shows a brood chamber on a plastic base, hopefully will entice swarms

I am very happy with this Hive. It looks good, is very functional and best of all, my Bees Love it! Vevor were very helpful when I contacted them in relation to setting up this Hive and I am glad to say that I now have a LOAD OF HONEY! Thank you Vevor! If you are a new Beekeeper like me, you can not go wrong with this Hive, I even made a video of how my bees were doing after 8 weeks in this Hive. (link below) https://youtu.be/DenRYY7RJOE

I got one at a great price and as price fell eventually bought 7. A complete steal,I think they were probably seconds but not a problem.i ended up with more than enough equipment to to make many manipulations. Around 500e for 21 boxes including frames and plastic foundation. The foundation alone is more than that on a BIG Chinese website I used to use but has become extortionate.

I now have 7 of these hives, i will be using the 2 deep boxes to,hopefully, trap swarms. Then I can put into full hive without disturbing bees.I also have 4 polyhives but these Cedar ones are much nicer to look at and make an attractive garden feature.An annual painting with beeswax should guarantee years of service and maybe lots of honey.I have moved a swarm into one of these hives and the bees seem happy in it

I have 5 of these hives with 2 more on the way. beautifully made and easy to assemble. I moved a swarm into the first one 2 days ago and they have settled in well, I shall populate the rest of the hives as bees become available but it is getting cold so may have to finish the job in Spring. I would recommend making some simple insulated jackets if the weather gets really cold if your swarm size is small. At this great price using the deep frames from one of the hives as swarm traps makes a good proposition as any bees trapped can be housed in a full hive without disturbance.These hives are more attractive than polyhives and with a regular coating of bees wax should last years
