Good quality. Will stick to these.
Good quality. Assembles well and square and is coated thoroughly with wax and came quickly. I have no reason to try anything else, my first behive is doing great in a MayBee hive. I've seen some others that I know are not as nice, including "Amish made" hives that had cracked frames from hasty assembly. I used glue in addition to nails for good frame assembly. Fasteners are included and the wood is solid, good materials. Square vices helped but are not necessary for the dovetail corners. Handles are cut well and work even once the hive is full and heavy. I like the look of the wood and wax better than paint and it keeps those materials away from my bees and honey. I will be buying a full MayBee hive set to split my hive in the spring.

Best waxed super I've ever used
A a beekeeper, I have hundreds of supers I use during the nectar flow. The beautiful thing about these is that they hold up in even harshest weather. The wax seals any cracks and crevices making them wind and water tight right out of the box, assembled or assembled. I love not having to spend my winters repairing, sanding, and painting all of my painted supers. If and that's if I need to repairs these I can do it without the added expense of new hardware and paint. Instead I warm up my rendered junk wax and simply brush it - or even pour it on the dove tailed joints then brush the excess over the rest of the super. If the joints are in good condition, I just use a chunk of hard wax and rub it over the surface - just like a surfboard. It couldn't be easier. I've found this is only necessary every couple of years. I have never received a super that wasn't in perfect usable condition right out of the box, which is a relief if you need to use it immediately. The extra wax you see around the joints is exactly how they should be - even if you buy it unassembled. Use a rubber mallet, putting a towel on the super instead of using it directly on the super. The extra wax immediately seals the corners, and when exposed to the sun during hot summers the leftover wax melds the joints together even more. As a Master Beekeeper and mentor I recommend these as supers or even as brood boxes if you find lifting a deep box is too heavy.

Excellent! So pleased!
I was worried about purchasing a preassembled super because I wasn't sure how well it would ship without damage, etc. But I was so pleased to see how well the box was taped. All seams of the box were sealed with tape so no danger of the box coming open and damaging parts. I opened the box to find a perfectly assembled, perfectly wax-coated medium box with all frames assembled with really nicely wax-coated plastic foundations. The wax was so well applied on the plastic foundations that I could feel it and even scrape a little off with my fingernail. Other manufacturers just apply a whisper of wax so they can call it "coated". It all smelled delicious! My bees will be so happy! I bought this because one of my honey-producing hives is a WORKHORSE this season and I just needed a FAST solution to plug and play as they need a super added. I didn't want to mess around with assembly when time was of the essence! I have now bought all my woodenware from May-Bee. Buy from May-Bee, you won't be disappointed! (I do not work for them and did not provide this review for any perk. I am just a very satisfied customer!)
