Well constructed hive, excellent customer service
I’ll start by saying that there were 2 damaged pieces when I opened the box (one panel was split, and the upper cover had some separation at the edges). I sent photos to the seller, got a prompt response, and they sent replacement pieces right away (in fact sending more than was needed to “make it right”). Very happy with the customer service.As far as the product, the quality seems excellent. I purchased 2 hives last year from Hoover Hives, and although I was satisfied with the quality, I decided to give this one a try based on the reviews and the pre-drilled holes with screws for the assembly of the boxes. This made assembly SO MUCH quicker and easier—the boxes fit together smoothly and quickly, and I feel like these will hold up nicely with screws (the Hoover hives used nails in the dovetails, and I had to pre-drill holes to keep the edges from splitting). Had no issues with this hive. Another reviewer posted a 2-star review with pictures of the frames splitting, but I had no issues assembling the frames. I highly recommend that you PRE-DRILL the frames before nailing them together (and use wood glue)—the wood is light and pieces are thin, so of course it will split if you don’t pre-drill. This is the most tedious part of the assembly, and It would be nice if these came pre-drilled as well, but I don’t know of any sellers that offer that. Once assembled, I could tell no difference between these frames and the ones I had from last year. They seem sturdy and should hold up fine. The panels all had a nice layer of wax, as did the foundation pieces. Everything fit together nicely. Overall very pleased, and plan to order future hive supplies through this seller.

My other hive colonies are jealous
What a beauty. Well built, easy to assemble, took less than 30 minutes to piece together. Very nice thick quality. The wax job on it is amazing. My other hive colonies are jealous.

Make sure it's square!
First off, the the price was the lowest out of all comparable hives and was the easiest to fit together without splitting the boxes. The wax coating isn't super heavy but it is definitely enough to protect it from the elements. I messed up and screwed all my screws in before I made sure it was square...so I had to take the 1 box apart and do it all over again...it is now square and fits the other pieces perfectly. The frames are pretty repetitive, use wood glue for the joints for the frames. The First hive I bought was the hoover hive and then I bought this one...in my opinion, this box is way better for the price and craftsmanship. I got to use a 20 dollar coupon which was pretty sweet! Also, it does not Come with a mouse guard...so if that's a deal breaker, just buy one separately.

Amazing!
Received 2 days after ordering, which was 3-5 days before I was told to expect delivery. Box was damaged upon arrival, which was fault of the carrier, but they refused to let me buy the missing piece and insisted on shipping another, free of charge. All the pieces are quality. I will be buying from this company again

Good price, Does what it should
This bee hive does what it should. Bees seem happy. The boxes were easier to put together than other brands mainly because of the thickness of the wax around the joints. This was good for putting together but may not be good for the longevity of the box since the wax protects the wood. Frames were easy to assemble. Now that the frames are full of honey I can say that have held up well. My main concern with the hive is the lid.I have had these out since about mid March, so roughly 4 months. One of the lids has rusted already. I think all in all I paid a good price for the product and it was packaged well so no broken pieces.
