10 Frame Beehive Medium Super Bee Hive Box Dipped in 100% Beeswax Include Beehive Frames with Beeswaxed Food Grade Plastic Foundation

Bought this to expand my bee keeping this year. Very happy with the ease of assembly and overall construction. Extremely well waxed which I like and will help the bees

Excellent product. It is waxed already. It is easy to assemble.

Excellent quality! Very happy with it! Easy to assemble

The Good: 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. The kit includes black-finish screws, rather than nails, that go into the pre-drilled holes for the corner joints on the boxes. These help draw everything together and won't work out like nails may. The kit includes small nails that I combined with a dot of wood glue for assembling the frames. The plastic starter sheets for the frames are perfectly sized and wax coated to make them more acceptable to the bees. The Knot-So-Bad: One of my super boxes had a knot in the wood that was right on the finger joint. In retrospect, I should have drilled the hole out a bit bigger or just used wood glue on that joint. At any rate I didn’t, and the corner split a tiny bit. I don't really fault Bee Castle for this. Every pine board will have a knot here and there. This one just happened to be at just the wrong place. The super was really still usable but I contacted Bee Castle about my issue. Without asking me to return the product, they sent me a complete, new, pre-assembled super with frames. Wow. It arrived quite quickly. I am impressed with their desire to keep their customers satisfied and I plan to purchase more of their products in the future.

The BeeCastle wax-dipped hive box and frame kits are excellent! These do require assembly, but they're built well, easy to put together, and they provide ample hardware. I prefer wax dipped boxes over painted, and while I cannot comment on longevity yet, the wax coating appears reasonably uniform and obviously "waxy," so I suspect these will last as long or longer than painted boxes. I wish all of my hive boxes were wax dipped now!
