Customer Reviews for VEVOR Bee Hive 20 Frame Beehive Box 10 Deep and 10 Medium Frames Langstroth Wooden Beehive Kit for Beginners and Pro Beekeepers

Ok so I am totally a new Bee Ha Ha to this hobby and felt this is a good entry level hive. The hive was very well packaged and received no damage at all. The outer frame has a good thick coating of wax on it and the frame when together well. The inner sections while stated no glue is needed is hard to believe because you will need to either nail it or glue it. The inner frames will not stay together without one or the other. I choose to use waterproof wood glue. The entire hive went together very well and should hold up to several years out in the weather. No just got to get some bees to do some work..Hope this helps and thanks..

Impressed with the wood quality. Frames were easy to assemble once I had one or two under my belt. At the advice of other beekeepers, we drilled 1/4 inch holes in the upper corners of each frame to allow bee passage.

Good quality! Very sturdy! Well made! Definitely worth the craftsmanship. Good price as well! Good first year boxes to start with. No complaints!

Well made hive boxes. Went together quickly and easily. Natural flaws in the wood had been patched with wood filler and sanded smooth. Joints were accurate and tight. Holes were pre-drilled for screws. Lid, cover board and bottom board are all solid and well made. Over all a top quality bee hive. I was impressed when the first one came so I bought a second one. It's just as good. Well pleased.

Super easy to assemble. All you need to start a hive only thing missing are some nails. Already bought another it was so simple.

My immediate sense was that this was constructed of a good quality wood. It isn't overly heavy but not a lightweight either. The dovetail joints really added to the rustic look and feel of this. The main sides are covered in wax. Some portions were a little thick in the coverage so I did heat it up with me electric heat gun and it melted in well. I only had to buff it a little. I was amazed at how many of the frames actually fit inside the box. They moved in and out relatively easy. Putting this together was very simple with the pictorial assembly guide. It's extremely sturdy and performs as well as could be expected. I'm waiting for my queen to arrive and will update once the hive is humming this summer.

Assembly took me about 90 minutes and needs nothing more than a hammer and a screwdriver. If I had a nail gun handy, that would have sped the process a bit. Everything fits together nicely and the end result is sturdy, easily moved with two built-in handles, and has a fresh cedar/wax scent. The directions were good and those without any woodwork experience may make a mistake or two along the way but there's nothing here that can't be easily corrected. My only difficulty is that this is described as a starter kit for beekeeping beginners. In that case, the product should come with some guidance - what else does one need? Shouldn't there be a top? How about a base? Do I simply put this outside on the ground as is and await the arrival of bees? None of that is explained, so a true beginner will go off to search the Internet for guidance. A search for Langstroth Hive will bring you what you need to know.

This is a nice,simple, way to get started in bee keeping. This is just the bee hive so you will need a few more things to get started. But, it is a great beginning. One thing of note is that this does not come assembled. You get a box with a bunch of wood. It is precut and does assemble pretty easily, but just be aware. Once I put it together it turns out to be a good little introductory kit.

From the minute I opened the box, I was impressed. The smell of cedar and beeswax was a super pleasant surprise. I have a few products from Vevor and every single one of them are high quality. This beehive is no different. You can see and feel the quality. The wood is thick and just beautiful. I'm just beginning my beekeeping journey and this beehive is the perfect size for me. It has ten trays that I hope will be filled with honey in the near future. The instruction manual, and a little common sense, make this beehive pretty easy to assemble. There are a lot of pieces in the box but don't let it fool you. Assembly is easy. It kind of reminds me of the old Lincoln logs. Lol I love the viewing window and the ventilation. This is a very well thought out hive. I'm still collecting accessories and watching a lot of videos to make sure I make a good home for my bees. I love learning ways to be more self sufficient and this beehive will not only help me harvest my own honey, it will increase my bee population so my gardens will have more pollinators. You won't be disappointed with this beehive. It is made of quality materials and adds beauty to any area. 10+ stars for this gem. I hope this was helpful.

Very easy to put together. Priced very well. Hope to buy more in the future. Can't wait to see how the bees like it.
