CREWORKS Bee Hive Boxes 10 Frame Langstroth Beehive, Bee Keeping Starter Kit Includes 1 Super Bee Box & 1 Bee Brood Box with Beehive Frames and Foundation, 2 Layers Complete Bee Hive Kit

This beehive kit is excellent quality. The wood is almost knot free and the boxes are easy to assemble. The hive kit is unpainted and untreated so the exterior needs to be painted or stained. The dove tail joints makes the boxes strong. The handles are large which is nice when lifting them while wearing gloves. The kit comes with some nails that are too short for the boxes. I recommend using wood screws for the boxes. The nails can be used for the frames.Some details to be noted are that the boxes are not pre-drilled and it is recommended to drill before nailing or using screws to prevent splitting. An other detail is that the plastic foundation is not pre-waxed, so it is necessary to apply beeswax to the foundation. The frames are well made an fit together without problems. Both frames and boxes should be glued with wood glue before nailing.The bottom board is made of solid wood, not plywood, which is great and makes it last longer. The inner cover does not have a notch, but that is easy to cut out if desired.One last thing to look for is that the image of the kit shows a 3 layer (3 bee boxes) hive, but you will receive only 2 boxes. The description says 2 layer hive, but it is somewhat confusing. This does not take away from the quality of the hive.

Great product. Super sturdy easy assembly wowBought more for my son

Good deal. Would be better if the frame inserts were waxed. I also got a wax dipped deep box that was screwed together. I suspect this will be stronger because I glued it together and glue is the best way to join wood, but maybe my paint job will be less effective compared to the wax. Time will tell.

I am a cabinet maker (hobbiest that is). I could never do it for a living because I care too much about making everything I do as close to perfect as I can. Now that I have offended all professional cabinet makers... Let me say that the workmanship of this CO-Z Bee Hive is amazing! I have purchased other brood boxes and supers from other suppliers and feel I am very qualified based on actual experience to say that someone would be hard pressed to find another supplier that provides a better fabricated Bee Hive. I keep bees as a hobby so my involvement in bee keeping definitely differs from those who make a living keeping bees. CO-Z bee hives are homes that my bees can be proud of and as my hobby grows will be the only hives I plan to purchase.

I have bought a lot of Hives in the past year, all from Amazon. This is by FAR the best one yet. So good that I ordered another one just to have. I would recommend to anyone.

Very difficult to put together and doesn’t come wax coated.

I love the product now that it is assembled. I used my own nail gun with smaller nails because the wood was splitting with the ones supplied to me. Putting nails in one by one with a hammer would have been a real pain in the neck.I used lots of glue. The end assemble is awesome and durrable

Overall quality and fit was surprisingly good, for such an economical price. Went together super easy. The only issue I had was with one bottom frame that was a bit off, but still went together just fine. I would purchase again.
