Customer Reviews for VEVOR Bee Hive 20 Frame Bee Hives Starter Kit, Beeswax Coated Fir Wood, 1 Deep + 1 Medium Bee Boxes Langstroth Beehive Kit, Transparent Acrylic Windows with Foundations for Beginners Pro Beekeepers

These are good hives at a fair price. Very well coated with wax.

While a bit tedious to assemble, these are easy for a single person to assemble with minimal effort(though a little time consuming). The quality is really great. I really like the natural wax finish and it has the added benefit of melding around the seems and creating a nice, sturdy hive. They are very pretty lined up at the top of our property. This hive set up is well worth the small price tag!

Simple to put together.

So, I’m impressed with how well packed all of this stuff was into a single box. The lip on one of my boards was broken but I was able to reattach it with super glue and small nails. Overall didn’t upset me, see second picture. It’s hard to tell but skinny piece in the middle is lip broken off. All 4 boxes went together very nicely, the tongue and groove fit well, and the wax finish seems sufficient and evenly done. I did add some nails to the corners for piece of mind, but I honestly don’t think it was necessary, the fit was tight. I used 100% silicone to seal the viewing screens, take note that the plastic pieces have ventilation holes… I really don’t see that as a good idea and will likely tape over the holes. The frame pieces are poorly cut. I have spent hours shaving the notches in the side pieces 1/4 inch or so deeper so that the large brood frames would snug up and hold the center piece, when I got to the super frames and found them even worse I gave up. I will probably just order new frames for the boxes. See photo and video, the video is a full snugged up frame where the center piece just flops loose back and forth. There’s no way to get it into the notch without shaving wood, which isn’t easy to do without cracking the pieces. **So after stepping away I found my fix. I used my 4inch hand grinder with a grinding wheel to deepen the bottom notches by about 1/4 inch, then once I built the frames I used the grinder again to make the notches flush. It took a little extra work but once I got a system down I was able to get them built without any more issues. Recently ordered a maybee and beecastle box to compare too, they seem to have a thicker coating of wax, can’t compare the frames because I went with pre assembled this time. Insanely frustrated.

Prijs kwaliteit verhouding is zeer goed. De "Langstroth" In Nederland is niet veel gebruikt en kan een belemmering zijn om bijen te kunnen kopen, dus let op.

Great price and impressed with the quality

This the second one I bought. Overall it's a decent hive. The price is right.

I need to buy 10 more but prices is not as I buy why the price go up

Well made product. Easy to assemble. Would buy again. There were a couple of glitches with the wood which the seller corrected.
