Golden Palace Bee Hive, Beehive with 7pcs Auto Super Frames, Bee House with 1pcs Super Boxes, 1pcs Brood Boxes(No Brood Frames), Bee Hives Starter Beekeeping Kits

Comes in many pieces but instructions were easy to follow. Took about 1 hour to assemble. If the bees like it I will purchase more. Great deal for the price.

Absolutely awesome. When you order this it's a complete ready to go bee hive after you put it together. Very good quaily and all dipped in bees wax. Will recommend and buy again. Great job thanks John

This was worth it for my first bee hive. It was fairly easy to assemble, though some knowledge of building things makes it much easier. The instructions are not very detailed. Also be sure to “paint” the flow frames with melted beeswax to close the gaps of the shifting cells. I am excited and hopeful for this hive box. Oh yeah you will also need to order frames for the bottom box as it does not come with any and you need something for brood comb.

Did not come with instructions but I watched the video and figured it out. Some of the wood was coated in beeswax but not all of it as described. Some of the wood split despite pre drilled holes. The roof is cute but I am concerned about hive beetles and other unwanted insects or even a small bird, making their way into the 4 holes in the top (there are 2 on each side). I have not used removed honey from the super yet, so I will update once I use the “key” and give feedback.

After researching FloHives a lot, I learned they were invented in Australia by a clever guy who wanted to extra the honey without having to remove the frames and stick them in a centrifuge (less work, less mess and less violent to the bees). The original outfit in Australia still sells the flohives but they are like $2k. I ordered this Chinese knock-off and am thrilled. Its made of 100% cedar (it even smells amazing). Zero particle board, all quality. I also love the solid cedar roof that is pitched with gables at both ends. Most hives have flat roofs. This is way better: the attic is perfect for supplements/food and it keeps the hive dry.It comes in two boxes: the brood-box/standard hive, and the FloHive super. I ordered two hives for two different colonies. The company made one error: they sent me (4) boxes, but accidentally send (3) normal hive assemblies and only 1 super. It took me a week to get in touch with them in China but they were amazing and rectified the problem in days.A+++. Golden Palace = Zosolate Store (same thing). I will only buy from them now.

Very good with communication also ended up with my package 3 days sooner 😁 very easy to put together video helped a lot.. Definitely gonna be buying another

6 month review - TLDR - I HIGHLY recommend that you spend your money elsewhere on either genuine flows or a new set of super boxes. - assembled picture from November 22 - window picture from yesterdayPurchased two of these "Golden Palace" hives back in November 2022 - they assembled ok but the instructions were lacking at best.There was also a strong chemical smell from whatever they coated the wood in. 6 months later the smell has gone.2 stars awarded for assembly and craftsmanship because overall they did provide a wooden box.1 star for value for money.The "flow" frames themselves operate as they should mechanically, however the Bees do not like them,they will not build wax on them nor fill them with honey.In the last 6 months we have tried several fixes to get them to accept the "golden palace" we have tried with and without the Q excluder, moved the two flow boxes to 6 different honey producing hives around the apiary as well as spending a full day adding my own wax to the frames and every single time the bees will not accept, work them nor add any honey.this coming weekend we will harvest 28 super boxes of honey from 30 hives this weekend, with the only non-producers being the two hives with the golden palace on them.not only have I lost money purchasing these boxes they have cost me ~80lbs of honey from the spring harvest.If the Bees will not work the frames and fill them with honey then they are just useless boxes that the bees will use as a hang out space.I HIGHLY recommend that you spend your money elsewhere on either genuine flows or a new set of super boxes.

Hesitant to buy this after reading the reviews but everything went together pretty smoothly. Some suggestions I would make is to update the visuals in the instructions, all the screws look the same. Also the length of the screw for the knobs on the top key access point are too long, about 1/4in is sticking out and if you aren’t careful you’ll rip out the Kingsert. Aside from that everything fit great, the dovetails are tight enough to where you don’t have to use fasteners. When assembling this make sure you use your tape measure and dead blow hammer, it will save you a lot of time. The smell is really strong right out of the box but if you leave it outside for a few days it will go away. Can’t really complain much about a couple screws being too long when it’s $900 +shipping cheaper to its counterpart. I will update as soon as the bees start to work the super.
