I have not got bees into the hive yet but assembling the hive was as easy as described
Ronald V.
Just what I ordered, went together easily. It is already filled. Ron
Dusty S.
Easy to assemble and has plenty of wax on the boxes and frames. Only thing that would make them better in my opinion is if they came with screen bottom boards.
Trish
Hive and box was easy to assemble and nails were provided. Has a heavy bees wax coating on boxes and foundation.
Kathy
I bought these last year and waited to review to see how they helt up. So far so good!

We love these boxes! Great craftmanship and very reasonable price. Have gone back for the supers too.

Previously my husband made all of his hives and frames. the price was very reasonable so we thought we would give them a try. We are very pleased. They are VERY well made and went together quickly.Thank you for a good product at a reasonable price!!! We are very happy with our purchase!!

Love your products. However, it just warmed up enough in New England to start building our hive. It seems I’m short one deep side..
Please let me know what I need to do?
Thanks

The boxes themselves were extremely easy to assemble. I see other reviewers commenting on the wax coating on the dovetail joints making it difficult to assemble -- this was not my experience. I did have extra wax build-up on the joints, but with minimal force (by hand and some light tapping with a hammer) I was able to press the pieces together and the extra wax simply scraped out of the way. The joints are tight and professional looking. Only complaint so far is that I noticed a couple corners chipped off the dovetails joints in the manufacturing process. I do not believe it will make a difference to the function of the hive, however.
Reviewer
Very pleased with the quality of these BeeCastle kits. I like supporting US manufacturers and local bee stores, but there's just nothing comparable to these domestically. There is a similar competitor who has nice supers as well but I like this foundation better. Nicely waxed and smells sweetly of beeswax with a fine edged deep cell pattern. The super is also heavily waxed and made from a combination of solid and linear jointed lumber with no affect to form or function. Very pretty in person. I personally love the grain and knots in the very colorful natural colored lumber. There is evidence of moisture boiling from the board ends so I'm convinced these are hot soaked and not sprayed. True perfect dovetails (not cheap finger joints) that assembled perfectly square- monitor with a framing square as you screw together with the provided TiN finished screws and you'll have identical boxes with no gaps, wobble or overhang. Nice clean deep hand holds too. I didn't use the provided nails for the frames as I glue and secure with an air brad nailer. Not a single split out of 60 frames. Two of the super boards were damaged in transit and the seller responded and replaced immediately. THANK YOU BEE CASTLE. I'll be back for more.
Corazon
This is the fifth one of these and they are all the same every time. If you are looking for quality and easy to assemble super, this is the one to get. Always builds square with the precision cuts from the factory. Very nice beeswax dipped coating on all boards. Frames are good and they are easy to assemble, tight joints and builds square.
Duke
Well made and waxed nicely..great build.
Kirk B
I purchased one medium super and was impressed. The dove-tail joints are all perfect. The waxed box sides are all perfectly flat and straight and have pre-drilled countersunk holes for the supplied screws. The frames are equally high quality and fit together perfectly. The foundation is nicely waxed. I want to buy more, but unfortunately, the price has tripled since I ordered it 3 days ago, and I won't be buying anything more.
sandra hastings
The shipping was fast good value for what I paid for as opposed to going directly to the bee supply store, easy to assemble, and perfect size for honey harvesting!
Jessie
Everything else fit together great.
Lisa
Bought this to expand my bee keeping this year. Very happy with the ease of assembly and overall construction. Extremely well waxed which I like and will help the bees
Leonard F.
Great quality as normal from Beecastle. Build it yourself, but very simple to do.
Chester
Very well made. Fast delivery. Everything needed for assembling, including nails and screws included in package.
CAM
Took a while to assemble and one piece was missing. Company made it right within less than a week. Would purchase again
Charles W.

Dandee279
Love this medium, 10 deep, easy to assemble great quality, thinking of purchasing more late of this product
H
Excellent quality,Easy to assemble. I used small screws rather than nails. Very good quality.
Brian
Easy to asseble. Really solid construction. Very high quality. Great value when compared to my existing wooden hives (which started pulling apart after just one year). Bee Castle will be my go-to wooden hive in the future.
William Buoni
I have three hives from BeeCastle and the quality is always good. I bought this pack to add a second honey super to one of my hives.
Henry Wolford
Love BeeCastle
steve
Quality was good and it was easy to assemble had no issues and would purchase again.
dpbel
Used for a short while and so far holding up well
Scott
Easy set up. Less than 30 minutes. Well waxed.
Michael G. Duplantis
we were overwhelmed when we opened the delivered bee box, however the assembly instructions were easy to understand. we used a u-tube video just to be sure we correctly understood the directions. the finished bee box product results were perfect! all pieces fit perfectly.
Jeffry S Sandberg
Very good quality and beautiful product. East to assemble.
Franklin H.
Went together very well. Tight fit. Love it.
Robert
Easy to assemble, the dovetail joints are stronger than box joints. I already own 2 of these and I will be buying more of these in the future. Another part of this, It might be wise to buy whole hives and use the components to add to other hives as needed because all the components are compatible with each other.
Scott
Great product, smells nice, wild bees were checking out the hive as I was putting it together
Sargent
Easy to put together and looks beautiful. Love the bees wax frames and coating on the wood.
TheLady
Fun to assemble and sturdy
Michael S.
Excellent joinery, overall great
Davis
Perfect!! Good quality and easy to assemble. Item was late in delivery from a fedex issue and I wasn’t sure if my package would arrive. This seller provided outstanding customer service and I would purchase this item again without hesitation.
Brown
I received this item yesterday. I am so happy with the way it was made. The box and frames were made so good that when you put them together, there is no play in them.
Purple
All dove tail joints are sharp and fit tight. Heavy wax coating is good. This was my 4th super from Bee Castle.
armadillo
I bought two other boxes from beeCastle and they were a great quality… the third one was replaced and I’m happy with the new box I received as a replacement
Tanner
gradually switching to wax coated boxes, these are great
Bradley
With it being dipped in Bee's Wax it should last a long time. Bee Castle is great to work with and stands behind their product.
PJL
The hive box pieces went together easily. Both the frames and the hive box seem well coated with wax.
Jesse
They are very easy to put together very sturdy, well-made. Everything fits like a glove. I highly recommend these hives.
J. Whitfield
Nice feel/look. Some assembly required.
Autumn O.
Went together easily and everything looks like it’s good quality!
