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

Exterior beeswax lasted three weeks. Will need to stain/paint. Endgrain on dovetails will need detailed painting after the wax wears off/ages.

Im a beginning beekeeper, still learning everything I can before I get any bees. And one thing I know for sure is that bees need a place to live. So I ordered this box, and it was the best order ever! First off, be ready for the delivery. The box is a bit heavier than it looks. But it has every piece you need, all of the fasteners, & clear instructions. All you need is a hammer & screwdriver. Being a beginner, I absolutely loved this! You actually assemble all 10 frames & the main box. Here's your chance not only work with your hands and assemble something you can be proud of, but to understand what you're actually creating- what each component does or doesn't do, scale or material they need to be made from, etc. It's truly amazing what a value this little package is! My only word of warning is this- tighten down the plexiglass window by hand, not with a cordless drill. It will tighten down way too fast and crack the window. The good news is, I learned how wonderful there customer service department is! My new part should be here soon! Quality is amazing. Good morning potential is not the charts. I'm looking forward to many years of use (and gallons of honey) from this beehive! I would definitely (& already have) suggested and recommended this beehive from the seller! Happy beekeeping!

My immediate sense was that this was constructed of a good quality wood. It isn't overly heavy but not a lightweight either. The dovetail joints really added to the rustic look and feel of this. The main sides are covered in wax. Some portions were a little thick in the coverage so I did heat it up with me electric heat gun and it melted in well. I only had to buff it a little. I was amazed at how many of the frames actually fit inside the box. They moved in and out relatively easy. Putting this together was very simple with the pictorial assembly guide. It's extremely sturdy and performs as well as could be expected. I'm waiting for my queen to arrive and will update once the hive is humming this summer.

This box is so nice. Great quality. I can’t wait to start using it.

Our neighbors are professional bee keepers and have acres of lavender just for the bees. This will benefit MY bees as well, learning with and using the VEVOR Starter Kit for my very first hive. Under the guidance of the pretty good instructions which come with the kit, I was able to assemble this hive in about 30 minutes. All the pieces were cut correctly and fit together as intended. Because the hive is wax coated, it should be readily acceptable to the bees once they are introduced when the weather gets warmer. Excited to get started with this deluxe 10 frame kit! Recommend this solid, beeswax coated hive starter kit.

I'm a newbie at bee keeping and this is my first hive. I do know quality when I see it amd this hive box is very well made. Everything fits together perfectly and has good instructions. For the money this seems like a good starter for bee keeping.

Ancora da provare ma mi sembra buona. Facile il montaggio l' assistenza è stata meravigliosa. Quando arriverà il momento chiederò alle api come si trovano nella nuova casa 🤣

Excellent as usual. Have several of these hives. Comes with thick wax coatings. The frames are also very well waxed. Saves a lot of time and effort waxing them myself.

Super easy to assemble. Rubber mallet and a smack board is the way. Just wish the box hadn't been covered in wax, makes painting a pain.

Super nice, build quality is better than anything I’ve seen around. Assembly wasn’t difficult, I would say it’s better that the older hives for fit and finish.
