A few of the pieces were broken and/or not milled well. Other than that I would buy again.

ok. Ein Rähmchen gebrochen im kienigen Teil

Love the hive, it is well made. This is the only hive I have with the side windows and it is a nice feature to have a peek in at your bees without disturbing the hive. The only thing I would change is is to have predrilled holes for the hive boxes for screws. Other than that it was a great buy.

Instructions and pictures are hard to follow, by someone who has not put one together before. After that it gets really easy. If a side wont slide into the other side, slide the other side into the first one. Everything fit really tight and solid. Pretty good item all in all.

Bee hive priced right machined very well assembly was easy. Honey spinner waiting on the honey so no comment

Love the price and the "Goober peephole" viewing window. Instructions could have been better because I cracked one.

Good hive for price

These Bee Hives were of OK quality. We had issues with the frame assembly because on the shallow frames, the foundations would not stay in. Contacted VEVOR and they quickly sent a video on how to fix the problem by shaving down a piece on each frame to make them work. The solution did solve the problem however it was VERY time consuming and a big disappointment.... Other than that, the hives seem ok. Our bees have moved in and everything is going well...

The hive is nice overall but some things could be improved: the acrylic window needs more than just 4 screws to fit nicely, it warps a bit and there is space trough bees could crawl out (i fixed this myself by adding more screws than just the 4 in each corner). The bottom board should be upgraded to AV screen board (I had to buy this separately because this decreases varoa by 15% and its a must in my opinion). The frames are nice but the tops that touch each other should be upgraded to square/triangle top so the bees cant glue them together that much. Also when you are assembling the frames make sure you add 1 horizontal nail in each corner so that when you take out the heavy honey filled frames you don't end up with just the top frame board in your hands, the frames need horizontal nails which the assembly guide doesn't show and the instructions should be upgraded with this. The roof is really nicely made and the hive overall is very pleasant to the eye. One more thing, if you got some bees wax at hand while assembling frames, make sure to "paint" the frame foundations with more wax so the bees accept the plastic foundations more easily. Overall, a nice hive ready to go missing only AV bottom board and some kind of feeder to support newly installed package bees.

I got one at a great price and as price fell eventually bought 7. A complete steal,I think they were probably seconds but not a problem.i ended up with more than enough equipment to to make many manipulations. Around 500e for 21 boxes including frames and plastic foundation. The foundation alone is more than that on a BIG Chinese website I used to use but has become extortionate.
