Good quality , fast shipping. I received the order and the top cover was damaged in shipping. I reached out to BeeCastle and they sent a new top within a few days.

When shipment arrived the carton was damaged a little but after I checked the contents it was really not that bad. I’d give a two for the shipper and 5 for bee castle. Thanks

The inner top cover is not to standard. It should have a deeper side and a shallower side. Also, it should have a notch opening for ventilation. Further, the box parts are too tight and require much hammering to fit, which damages the wax covering. Lastly, not sure the box wood is cedar. It seemed more like pine.

just love the hives need 2 more waiting for them to go on sale
Daren P.
Great quality!!!!

These hives are so easy to assemble. They're cut perfect and square. Everything that is supposed to be in the box is always correct. These are the seventh kits that I have purchased from Beecastle and I won't be buying from anyone else. The price is unbeatable and delivery is the quickest.
Philip H.
These boxes from Beecastle are great! They are definitely the boxes I plan to fill my apiary with.
Richard F.
Pretty good hive. great for the price point. Cedar makes for light boxes, wax dipping is a little cool but probably goes deep anyway since it is cedar. Frame assembly instructions should contain suggestion to glue the frames at assembly. A friend put them together as instructed and the frame fell apart in his hand when he went to show them to me. Tight Bond three is your friend!
Melissa M.
Great packaging and shipping. Love this brand.
Linda R.
Not hard to put together
Bill D.
Great quality hive at a great price. The free, fast shipping is also a big plus.
Greg T.
I'd like to start off by saying the quality of the dovetail joints and fit was spot on. These hive boxes went together like a glove. The frames went together equally as well and although not in the instructions I would recommend using a quality wood glue when putting the frames together. Especially the brood frames as they will be removed a lot more. The only negative I have is the queen excluder is very flimsy and I didn't use it, ordered a metal wire one instead. I will definitely be ordering more supers and hives in the future!
Bill a.
Everything went good while assembling my hive. I’m just moved in a new swarm and they seem to like it. Thanks for a great product. Very pleased.
C
Stunning design, blends well with nature.
F
My bees moved in immediately!
Stewart C.
I enjoyed putting it all together and looking forward to the day a swarm arrives. My only regret was not buying it earlier in the year when it would have been more likely.
Peter H.
Good quality for the price
D
The assembly was a breeze.
Z
Great product description accuracy. No surprises.
Stephanie R.
The boxes went together super easy, live that they had predrilled holes. I have already started using some of the supers on another hive. The deeps are set up and ready to go. Overall, very satisfied. Will order again.

Smooth transaction from beginning to end.

Heavy-duty box that arrived completely undamaged.
Anthony J.
This hive seems like a GREAT value to me. I am replacing some old, rotting, painted pine hives with these cedar hives. The milling is perfect and assembly was easy with a mallet and cordless drill/driver. Having an 18 ga. nail gun really helps speed up frame assembly. I always nail perpendicular to the foundation so that the nails won't pull out when you are trying to remove a really stuck frame.

They also come coated with a heavy coat of beeswax to protect the wooden box from the elements.

I love the BeeCastle hives I have purchased 10 hives in March. I only purchase these. Out of the 10 hives only one deep box the wood was split on 3 sides other than that they were great.
