Review: Solid Hive - These are well-made hives and have a nice dove-tail system in the corners of the boxes that fit nicely together. Solid boxes and the walls are thick, sturdy & wax covered as it should be. They are just as easy to put together as others that I have bought which is a bit time consuming, but not at all difficult. The only disappointing thing (which is my fault that I didn't read the detail), is that the bottom on this is solid. I wanted one that had the screen at the bottom above the solid bottom. You can get it, but it is sold separately with this company which it was included with others that I've bought. All in all, seems to be a solid hive. Review: Very good quality - great customer service! - These beehives are very sturdy. It comes in a box disassembled but it's not hard to put it together...just takes a bit of time since you have to assemble all the frames as well as the main structure. Comes with a plastic queen excluder, a bottom brood box, 2 honey boxes, a roof, and an entrance limiter. Highly coated in wax so you don't have to paint or stain it. Looks really good. I built 2 of these. It did take a good few hours but that's because you have to assemble each frame with glue and nails but everything fits perfectly once you get it assembled. Update: I bought a third one of these and parts of it split while I was assembling it. Didn't have this issue with the first two. I contacted the seller and they sent replacements (and more!) The very next day without any fuss or hassle at all! I'll definitely be buying my bee supplies from these guys exclusively from now on! Edit on 4-17-22: ok.... after buying more from a different company, all I'm gonna say is that I wish I had just gone ahead and paid the extra bit of money and got the hives from these guys. ## Features - Thicker and Full Beeswax Coating: BeeCastle hives are fully soaked in the boiled beeswax(the beeswax deeply soaks into the wood to form a waxy coating),which makes BeeCastle Hives more durable than other waxed beehives. Beekeepers no longer have to paint their bee hives, saving effort and convenience - Superior Design: This beehive has pre-cut dovetail joints and pre-drilled holes, which make assembly easier.The dovetail design is not only easy to assemble but also very tight fitting with stronger and longer support for the beehive box.The wooden frames of the bee hives also come with dovetails - Durable and Safe Material: Cedarwood material has a high level of stability, which prevents BeeCastle hives from shrinking, expanding, cracking or warping than other woods.
