MayBee 8-Frame Langstroth Beehive Dipped in 100% Beeswax, Bee Hive for Beginner, Honey Bee Hives Includes 2 Deep Bee Boxes, 1 Bee Hive Super with Beehive Frames and Foundation (3 Layer)

Not hard to assemble just takes a little time and glue which you will need for assembly. Bees are happy!

I like this hive a lot. This is my second year beekeeping. I like this better than the bee castle ones because they put together well. I must really recommend the Chinese one though because they wrap the bees frames in plastic and are well packaged. Of the three I like Maybee brand the best.

The quality of this hive is excellent! Well coated with wax inside and out. The screws and pilot holes worked perfectly and the nails went in perfectly. I only had 1 screw split the wood a bit, so I wood glued the split back together and the next day re-drilled the pilot hole and it was fine. It was easy to build by myself and with basic tools, hammer and a powered screwdriver. Everything is included and it's ready to be assembled as soon as you open the box. All the dovetails fit as they should and nothing was misaligned. Great quality and price for a hive!!

Top super was cut incorrectly and so it cracked when put together. The sender was quick to remedy the situation and sent a new super.

So, what did I like, and what didn't I like?I will usually shy away from product like this that was made in China. I have gotten hive bodies from US mfgs. and had to sand and fit all the parts to get them usable. This is for a neighbor just getting into beekeeping, so for the price I ordered this set for him. This is a first for me, every dovetail fit perfectly, as did all the frames. No fitting, no sanding. Minutes to assemble, not hours. Five stars is not enough.

They works great! Easy to assemble and work great for our bees

easy to assemble, solid quality. Took a little over an hour due to assembling all of the frames but everything fit together exactly without issues.

This is my 3rd MayBee Beehive box. Instructions provided are easy to understand. Took me about 2 hrs to build. I’ve purchased boxes from other companies and MayBee boxes have been my favorite.
