These hives assemble well, although know that there is some screwing/nailing/gluing involved so you have to be comfortable with some amount of "woodworking" (although it's just assembly, not construction).
Note: Cardboard boxes are only so strong; both of my larger packages (two deeps and a medium honey super in each box) were damaged upon arrival simply due to the size & weight of the boxes. The insurance paid for me to replace the few frame edges that had fallen out of the hole that had formed in the box's edge. I highly recommend getting the insurance if you're ordering any item that's the size of 2 deep boxes or bigger!

Compared other hives that I've used BeeCastle hives are exceptional! They are very well made, very easy to assemble with the dovetailing, very sturdy & quite nice looking as well. I'm Very impressed and happy with my BeeCastle hives.
David B.
A quality product and great customer support.
B T.
Quality hive that’s simple and fun to build. The bees seem to like it!
Alyssa C.
Easy to assemble, had a couple board splits when screwing in the top screws but nothing some wood glue and clamps couldn't handle. Boxes fit nicely on the other bee castle boxes and our existing boxes as well. Overall very happy and hope they hold up well over time
Bradley S.

Great for beginner beekeper
Jeremy W.
Great quality at a low price. Assembly was a breeze.
Chris W.
Hive kits arrived in great shape. The boxes and frames are very easy to assemble. I bought one and ended up buying a second 2 deep, one medium super kit. I bought the unfinished ones because I wanted to paint them white. I'm sure I will be buying more in the future. Excellent products and fast shipping.
Derreck W.
Great product, quick delivery.
Kris P.
I don't have the bees in the box yet but they go together easy and things look good so far. I don't know how they perform though, take care
Jerry P.
Can't beat these hives for the price point

Wood has nice finish. We used a dremmel to pre-drill nail holes for ease of installation. Highly recommend this company!
Hope
I added this super on top of a current hive to give the bees more space and so I could harvest some honey.
Leo L.
Really nice hive boxes. My bees seem to love. I will be buying more hives in the very near future and I do recommend these hives you won’t find any hives at this price range and they are very good hives, and being waxed is a plus
Bennet
Once again I am very pleased with this product. My bees also love it. I will definitely be ordering more from Langstroth. It is very durable and easy to assemble. Great value as well.
Richard R.
Love my BeeCastle hive’s .
William B.
I really like this hive. I bought it on sale for a cheaper price than similar hives. It was a better quality with tighter dovetail joints. The screws were a higher quality and coated to prevent rust. The overall construction was tight and strong. I also appreciate the entrance in the back of the inner cover. I will purchase more.
sheridan
Added it to my hive as a second brood box

It came quickly, was super easy to put together, came with everything I needed. Put together the hive and all frames in about an hour. Their space isn’t finished yet but I couldn’t help but set it up to take a picture. Beautiful hive.

I received my hive quickly and in good shape. Assembly was easy although time consuming. All the joints fit snugly and the quality is excellent. I'll definitely be purchasing a second hive in the next week! So glad I chose BeeCastle.

Package was shipped very quickly and was easy to assemble. Shipping box was damaged and 1 frame piece was missing. I messaged customer service and 2 days later the missing piece arrived with extras! I will consider buying again when I get more bees
David D Spencer

Great product and customer service as the item arrived damaged from shipping, the seller sent a new one very fast.

When we couldn't find the Super already assembled, we went this route, and it did not disappoint.
Joe Elam
Loved the wax coating and the way it went together.
Manila Mike
This is a very well made, fairly priced product. I love the color, as well as the protection, that the wax coating gives to the frame box. I added these supers to my "Eco Wood Treated" brood boxes for a contrasting affect. Corner joints are perfectly tight and assembly is simple and straightforward.
Michael R Martin
The frames did not split from the wire nails during assembly.There were two corners of the hive box that did not have drilled recess for the screw heads.
Bruce H Mitchell
Had a wonderful time assembling with my Gransdson. He loves helping papa with his bees and this was a great project for us to do together. smells great too. bee also seem to enjoyit. so bonus
Anthony C
A Nowadays rarity in the bee equipment world, a company that stands by their products. I got my 4×8 frame supers, a day earlier than expected. Plus.I assembled them with ease, another Plus. However I did have a small issue arise. When the company got a picture to show the issue. They resolved the problem. Another Plus. This isn't my first purchase. And won't be the last. The boxes are well waxed and line up well. I still used glue. And a torque drill when screwing. They sit nice and flat after assembled. Thanks again to their Amazon support staff. As they sought out me to fix my issue, when I should have tried to resolve it first. But I think we have all gone down that dead end street, with other companies.Can't wait for the girls to fill these supers up.
Robi Tanner
Super awesome box. Solid, easy to put together, Fits perfect over my Bee hive perfectly.
Bradley Peay
Great Product. The craftsmanship and the way it's designed is great! 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.
john f.
The Bee Castle hives are of excellent craftsmanship. All parts fit perfectly and are covered with lots of bees wax
Customer
Let me start by saying before buying this I bought another brand unfinished and built 7 boxes. Those seven boxes took 9 hours, then 3 days of applying finish.. This literally took maybe 15 minutes to put together by hand. Joints were like butter. Couple little spots on the wood that weren't very clean and the easy fit did leave some gap but not enough for me to worry about. I did not glue the box because of the beeswax, so hopefully it will hold good. Screw holes were all predrilled and screw head holes recessed already. PROPERLY SIZED HARDWARE.. YAY!! Makes for a very clean box. My secret for squaring is a 24 inch dewalt clamp. Pulls boxes perfectly square and can set it with a couple screws in the corners then unclamp. If it stands up to time this will be my new go to company.

Received as advertised
Teri Albright
I am not a carpenter by a long shot, but I was able to put these togethers with a little TiteBond 3 wood glue, an electric screwdriver, and an power stapler for the frames. I used a mallet to help the box edges join together. They were far nicer looking than I was expecting. It took me about 25 minutes to assemble the deep and medium boxes, and then another 20 minutes to put the frames together and add foundation. The only thing I dont know now is how they hold up in the Texas weather!
Adam
BeeCastle just keep making the great hives you’re making and I’ll keep buying them. And oh yes, my bees love their swank BeeCastle condo’s
Sabah T.
The package arrived as promised. Ordering was easy. The delivery process was good and there was no evidence for damage on the outside. I have not assembled the boxes or frames yet.
James Shetron
2nd year beekeeper needed deep box for split. Went together easily, comes with waxxed frames
Sondra R. Brooks_Author
This was packed well , arrived as expected . High quality joinery : fits very tightly and is made from high quality wood . I have ordered 4 of these for reserve supers . I am very pleased and would recommend .
Jackie Oleson
Beautiful exterior
rob w.
Well built, everything was coated in wax.
sherry
This unit was very easy to assemble and very well built!
Tanner
I’ve purchased and used these as honey supers for a few years now. The boxes are well waxed and the dovetail joints fit up nicely. The frames are good quality and the bees build out the foundation evenly without needing to add wax.I’ll continue to buy and recommend these boxes.
Rich
This is the second box I bought like this from you people excellent craftsmanship the frames are well coated with wax easy to put together love it will be buying more Rich !!
Duane W.
