But here I am doing almost just that same thing..haha. In case seller has others for sale, mine is the 4-box hive: 2 deep and 2 medium. I was worried because of some negative reviews and because there also aren't that many reviews for the product. I work in shipping and know how some heavy items are easily damaged. I half expected damage on arrival. Delv'd by FedEx, and they seemed to take care with it. One seam of the shipping box had a split, but shipper had taken care to band and tape well. Nothing was damaged. A lot of reviews for low-price hives mentioned missing pieces. All pieces were included that should have been. I feel quality is great so far. Sure, wood is narrow and can split - it's the nature of wood. There might be types of wood that don't split, but I've worked with a lot of hardwoods that still did when pieces are narrow. I, personally, could not face the thought of hand-nailing 1,000 small nails, so I broke out the wood glue and brad gun...haha I had zero pieces split on me. The bag had plenty of nails, though, so there were probably plenty to secure everything. Seeing the narrow pieces, I'd probably pre-drill holes...another thing I could not face, thus sealing my choice of a brad gun! Can't remember if this item had reviews for no instructions, or for bad instructions, but instructions were included and pretty clear. Pieces went together easily and are square. As with any assembly of this many pieces, some pieces fit more snugly, some more loosely. Light hammer taps took care of the snug fits, wood glue and nails took care of the loose. All pieces fit, and there were no big issues getting any where they were supposed to go. All boxes and parts sit squarely on top of each other. Assembly took probably close to 2-1/2 hours at a lazy pace. Are they interchangeable with boxes from other hives? I don't know as I don't have any other hive boxes to sit them on. Outside measurements of boxes are 16-1/4" x 19-7/8", according to my cheapie tape measure. Big question - will it hold up? I don't know. I plan to coat with 2 light coats of exterior paint and hope for the best. I'd say it's probably the same for any wood going outside, but if I remember a year from now and can find my original review, I will update. Last biggie - will the bees like it? I also don't know because my bees arrive next month. If I imagined myself a bee, I think I'd like it. But who knows. This will be included in my one-year update, assuming I can find the original to update and assuming I don't kill the poor bees. Things I'd love even more: option of a screened bottom board for hotter climates. I can buy separately but would have been easier to just add on to here. Me being lazy and no reflection on this product...haha Also would have loved the foundations coming pre-waxed. Wax options I see here see are not so great as far as reviews, and the process of waxing seems tedious. I'd have paid more for the item if pre-waxed foundations had been an option. But I knew this going into the purchase, so no reflection on the product. I was hugely nervous about buying this given the # of reviews and some of the comments, but I'm so far really happy with the purchase. Hope this review helps someone else looking for an affordable and easy option for a hive kit purchase! Review: Pros Great Woodenware Kit CONS Lack of Wax on Foundation (Fixable) - Pros and Cons of this product. Great set up for the sale price. I built 3 supers same day and the HD wood sucked in comparison. I also bought a 3 box kit plus this 4 box kit and all the wooden ware was in good shape with only one poor super board that still works. This is not US and the boxes only fit together in ONE WAY and you may need a rubber mallet to put them together (7 boxes) and some fit easy and other need a mallet. Yes I would buy it again when looking at a single box with frames and foundation cost ~72$ plus tax + shipping from my local store and here you get two good tops and bottoms. Not sure what some of the sales are for a full set up locally but still a lot more $. THE ONLY THING I WORRY ABOUT: Is the WAX coating on the 70 sheets of foundation. I could not feel or smell the WAX coat on these sheets. All sheets are black. FIX: If you bee keep and save your WAX then you can use a small crock pot and a 5" roller to put a new coat of wax on these sheets. They may have a thin coat but I would not take the chance they will work. Unless brand it is new foundation with heavy wax I usually take my saved wax that has been cleaned up to coat all the frames that I use just before I need them. Still a GREAT DEAL and lot cheaper than local products. ## Features - Spacious Design: With dimensions of 18.1" x 22" x 29.5", this 30-frame Langstroth beehive from Creworks provides ample room for brood and honey production, ensuring your bees have the space they need to thrive - Sturdy and Durable: Constructed with a fir wood exterior and pinewood honeycomb frames, this beehive offers excellent resistance to corrosion. The thickened bottom board and metal telescoping cover help maintain stable temperature and humidity levels - Beekeeper-Friendly Features: This 3-layer starter kit is thoughtfully designed with a solid bottom board, widened entrance reducer, plastic queen excluder, and inner cover, making it suitable for beekeepers of all experience levels - Quick and Easy Assembly: Thanks to its simple dovetail design and clear instructions, this beehive can be assembled in just 10 minutes, saving you time and effort - Convenient to Transport: Equipped with convenient grips on all sides, this beehive is easy to move and relocate, allowing you to position it in the best location for your bees ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09NPWYG2N | | Assembly Required | Yes | | Best Sellers Rank | #155,329 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #111 in Beekeeping Hive Kits | | Brand | CREWORKS | | Brand Name | CREWORKS | | Color | 3 Layer | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 423 Reviews | | Included Components | Langstroth 3-Layer Beehive | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 18.1"D x 22"W x 29.5"H | | Item Type Name | Beehive Bee Box | | Manufacturer | CO-Z | | Material | Cedar Wood , Pine Wood | | Material Type | Cedar Wood, Pine Wood | | Product Dimensions | 18.1"D x 22"W x 29.5"H | | Product Style | 3 Layer | | Style | 3 Layer | | Target Species | Bee | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CREWORKS - **Color:** 3 Layer - **Material:** Cedar Wood, Pine Wood - **Product Dimensions:** 18.1"D x 22"W x 29.5"H - **Style:** 3 Layer ## Images ![CREWORKS Bee Hive Boxes Starter Kit, 3 Layer Bee House Langstroth Beehive for Bees Keeping, Beekeeping Supplies with Plastic Queen Excluder and Nails (10 Medium and 20 Deep Frames) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712NIGMiToL.jpg) ![CREWORKS Bee Hive Boxes Starter Kit, 3 Layer Bee House Langstroth Beehive for Bees Keeping, Beekeeping Supplies with Plastic Queen Excluder and Nails (10 Medium and 20 Deep Frames) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bgVfCZQyL.jpg) ![CREWORKS Bee Hive Boxes Starter Kit, 3 Layer Bee House Langstroth Beehive for Bees Keeping, Beekeeping Supplies with Plastic Queen Excluder and Nails (10 Medium and 20 Deep Frames) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fdaqxsMZL.jpg) ![CREWORKS Bee Hive Boxes Starter Kit, 3 Layer Bee House Langstroth Beehive for Bees Keeping, Beekeeping Supplies with Plastic Queen Excluder and Nails (10 Medium and 20 Deep Frames) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71g4Eu6BocL.jpg) ![CREWORKS Bee Hive Boxes Starter Kit, 3 Layer Bee House Langstroth Beehive for Bees Keeping, Beekeeping Supplies with Plastic Queen Excluder and Nails (10 Medium and 20 Deep Frames) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ea58h7u3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Model** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where do I get the bees?** A: There are many places that sell packages or nucs.

I would definitely buy again. I expected to pay much more for this nice of quality. Very little sanding or filing to put together the dove-jointed sides. Just wish I could buy more right now! Minor tools needed for assembly. I did use glue on all joints and added exterior-screws to strengthen/secure all corners. Some skills required for assembly, but easily assembled all parts. Nice! ;-) ## Frequently Bought Together - CREWORKS 5 Layer Bee Hive, Beehive for Honey, Bee Box Beekeeping Supplies, Hive Kit for Starter Beekeeper (No Frames) - Honey Keeper Beehive 10 Deep Frame Kit with Foundations for Replacement Langstroth Beekeeping - Medium Super Beehive Frames with Wax Foundations, 10 Pack Honey Bee Frames with 100% Beeswax Coated Food Grade Foundation Sheets, 6-1/4-Inch (Yellow) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/183981017-creworks-bee-hive-boxes-starter-kit-3-layer-bee-house](https://www.desertcart.at/products/183981017-creworks-bee-hive-boxes-starter-kit-3-layer-bee-house) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
