Customer Reviews for VEVOR Beehive Box Kit Bee Honey Hive 20 Frames 1 Deep 1 Medium Natural Fir Wood

Niuce quality wood and cuts are tight. The side soor is nice but by nature you can only see one aide of ine frame. Stull iseful. I likeit. You must provide all the nails and a recommend glueing the frame too. Took a few hours to assemble.

Couldn't ask for better the hive was of better quality than the equipment I get from other distributors. Well packaged and easy to put together. Will buy again. Shipping was also point on.

Nicely waxed and fits together snuggly

I have ordered these hives a few times. they are cheap, u understand this when i do not pay a lot. That being said the few things that i had to address to assemble the hives were trivial compared the the value price point. The bees do not care that i had to fit a few corners before assembly but my wallet certainly does care about the money saved. It has allowed me to buy more stuff for my bees and that makes them happy

Seems to be alright

Unfortunately, the item was never delivered and a completely unrelated item was shipped by mistake in its place. When I called the agent to have the correct item shipped it was apparently out of stock to they provided a complete refund. Everything went smoothly and I was satisfied with the ultimate results.

When the box arrived. I saw it had contact information in England, Germany and as well in China. It was made in China. Surprise!! But you could deduct it might also be sold in Europe. What made me believe it is a good quality product. The manual was in color and had good quality and only in English. I was expecting German and Chinese as well. The hive is good in general. It also has a queen excluder and an entrance reducer. It was very easy to assemble. You need a rubber mallet to put the boxes together. I really liked the dovetail feature as other mentioned on their reviews. They even provide the nails to secure the frames. You don't need anything else but a hammer and a rubber mallet. Most ppl will be very happy with it. I prefer a screened bottom board. This one comes with a solid bottom board. So I had to buy one, also a hive stand. The observatory window is just on one side of the box. I was expecting to be on both sides like the Flowhive. The observation windows, aka window, was the feature that made me go for this product. It also has some openings. Take a look at the picture. I have mixed feelings about it. It might help to ventilate the hive during the summer. But I am afraid beetles, ants and other insects might get in. A strong hive can defend itself, a weaker one .... The frames are good. Also the waxed foundations. I like to have a wedged top bar frame. Where the bees build their own comb. I try not to use the foundations. Unfortunately, you can't modify those here. So I had to buy those too. As I mentioned, this hive is complete and you can start beekeeping right away. I got a hive stand, screened bottom board and wedged top bar based on my preference. You don't need it.

Well made. Easy to assemble.

This is one medium sized broad box, not a typical Langstroth deep. There are ten small cell, black plastic foundations that are covered in a thin layer of beeswax. I had better success with the small cell but I switched to all natural beeswax foundations because I noticed that one of my hives was not filling out the black foundation completely. Not all of my hives behaved that way so it's just trial and error which foundation you and the bees like to work with.

Compared to the many hive boxes I have purchased, these boxes with frames are an amazing bargain!!! Fast Delivery, Easy to assemble, no painting required, no waxjng of foundation required! Great for viewing your bees with minimal disturbance, i will continue to buy these hives as long as they are available!
