## Description

desertcart.com: BeeCastle 8 Frame Langstroth Bee Hive Coated with Beeswax Includes Beehive Frames and Waxed Foundations (1 Deep Box & 1 Medium Box) : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Best I've found - These are by far the best-made bee boxes I've found. The precision of the millwork is outstanding, and the wax/oil finish is superb. That they are screwed together (screws provided) was an unexpected bonus. And they are competitively priced. As a bit of advice, regardless of who you buy unassembled frames from, consider getting a battery-powered pin nailer (Ryobi) rather than trying to hand-nail them together. I use a bit of glue (Titebond III or similar) when putting the frame parts together, then use a 3/4" pin nail to reinforce them. - Fast, easy, and rock solid.
Review: Good product for sure - This is my first 8 frame Langstroth Beehive, I've been using ten frame beehives for many years. One of my neighbors helped me clear the fallen oaks off my home thanks to Hurricane Milton. (been through many Cat 5 storms, but Milton handed me my tail) My neighbor is a great guy, and had a Wood Duck habitat that was invaded by some really calm bees, so I bought this beehive for him. I have to say it was well built, and easy to assemble. It was appreciated that all the wooden parts had a heavy coating of beeswax, which is rare. First time I assembled a hive that my hands were coated by some of the transferred wax. This hive is still in my garage as I know better than to rehome bees during a polar vortex, even in Florida. Soon as it warms up a bit, we'll drop his duck box and transfer the bees to their new home. Truthfully I have no idea how many bees are in the duck box since its so high up in an oak tree, this cold spell is giving me some time to build a 8 frame to 10 frame brood box adapter, so I can give him an extra ten frame brood box I have on hand if his duck box is loaded with more bees than can fit in this. I've never ordered a beehive from desertcart, and normally use a specific companies hives, but this didn't disappoint in any way.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used with mason jars to collect the honey?**
A: If you are referring to the hive where the honey is collected by opening a spigot to drain into a mason jar, then the answer is No.  This is a traditionally designed hive where you need to remove the frames and collect the honey through a centrifuge.

**Q: Where is this made?**
A: China

**Q: Was this kit supposed to come with yellow food grade honeycomb sheets? Does it make any difference if they are yellow or black? Black retains heat.**
A: Mine are also black.... The description does not say black or yellow although the pictures shows it with black foundations.... Most bee keepers prefer black so you can see eggs in the cells better. There is no performance difference between black or yellow foundation.

**Q: Are these hives truly wax dipped (at high temperature to boil out moisture and absorb the wax deep into the wood), or are they simply "wax coated"?**
A: These are wax dipped..... Hard to tell if they are they soaked in the wax till all the moisture is gone from the wood. I ordered 2 of these last year and they do not show signs of deterioration however some of the pieces are starting to gray from the weather.... Either way these are still cheaper than most untreated hives out there so the wax was extra fluff to me.
