Aivituvin Bee Hive Bee Box 10 Frame Upgrade with All -Around Metal Frame Bee Castle Coated with 100% Beeswax Includes Waxed Foundations,2 Deep Boxes & 1 Medium Box

I am very novice to bee keeping, an i know i will face some challenges being my first year. I assembled two of these units.1.) The units are coated in bees wax , and they smell wonderful2.) assembly was easy , but you do need to pay attention or you will assemble things upside down and backwards.3.) the frames that came with them were nice. again pay attention as there is a lot of parts. and putting all those frames together is time consuming4.) I really like the base of the frame that holds the boxes up , it is nice metal material , an once put together seems sturdy. I also love the fold out frame arm holders. I am certain it will come in handy one day.5.) Since i am just starting out , i wont need the top box yet. But i have it for expansion which is great.6.) LOVE the little viewing windows, this will be a great help for a novice like me so I will be able to view in without disrupting the hive.overall I feel i got a decent item , an hope to make good use of it

Easy and relatively fast to build and setup also smells pleasant so that's a plus. I had a few pieces of brood frames that had knots where nails where supposed to go but had a few extra pieces that it came with probably for that very reason. Overall I love it and would recommend it to anyone who's interested. Took me only a few hours to assemble once you get going it things get smoother just have to be patient and careful with it.

i used non-toxic wood glue and my pneumatic staple gun to put the box together and i believe it made it stronger than those dovetail joint boxes. i'm a first year bee keeper so wish me luck

Had missing pieces half of it isn't here

This was well packaged and arrived quickly. I'm very impressed with the quality of the product. I will be using this as a beehive of course.

Great quality beehive. Took about 45 minutes to assemble start to finish.

Quality Materials…Takes awhile to assemble many many pieces but well worth it…I paid less through another vendor so shop around..

This bee hive was a huge disappointment. The "simple installation" claim couldn’t be further from the truth. The parts were incredibly difficult to align, and several pieces broke during assembly. The nails provided are too big, causing the boards to split when hammered in, which ruined the structure.The supposed "durable metal frame" didn’t feel sturdy at all, and the overall quality of the materials was subpar. I had to buy additional hardware to fix the splitting boards and poorly fitting pieces. For the price, I expected a much better product.If you’re looking for an easy-to-assemble and reliable bee hive, this isn’t it. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere.Also, the plastic foundation in frames has a plastic smell. My bees got problem starting the wax. I took them out, rewax them and put them back. I hope now they start making it. Frame and stuff could be bad quality but plastic smell, it is not acceptable. Since I assembled them and return period is closed, I can not return them.
