Customer Reviews for VEVOR Bee Hive Medium Box Starter Kit, 100% Beeswax Coated Natural Fir Wood, Langstroth Beehive Kit with 10 Frames and Foundations, Transparent Acrylic Bee Windows for Beginners and Pro Beekeepers

3 pieces of the deeps and 2 pieces of the supers were split and cracked in half. Half the frame bars were splitting or already cracked. When I opened the box there were chunks everywhere from random pieces. The wax almost seems, smells and taste like paraffin wax not natural beeswax.... And the viewing windows are a cloudy piece of acrylic, while I was expecting a clear viewing window on the boxes.

Boxes are nice wax dipped. The frames were not all very good putting together about 800 frames and a good portion of those I had to modify to get to fit properly. Good for the price not the high-quality out there though

Only a year and a 1/2 in service and it is falling apart already.Nothing a couple nails and glue won't fix.But I expected a little more

After one season it’s showing it’s age not too sure if it’s bee wax coated not holding up like my other equipment

The box and frames are very good quality. My issue with the product: while it is described as a "beginner" box; it doesn't have the inner cover, the top cover or a bottom board so I had to get those elsewhere. Those do not have the same quality of beeswax coating as this box and frames. The box has very good coverage with beeswax coating. As I am an existing bee keeper, I didn't need the large kits. If you add the cost of a bottom board, Inner cover and the lid, it becomes a quite expensive single hive box.

Great Hive, wax coating could be better on boxes and thicker on foundations. Frames upper and lower bars need to have a bit more attention to detail when nothing, frames needed alot of trimming to get side rails to seat properly and hold foundation in place.

Didn’t come as described no opening on the sides damage top on one l ask for the exchange. On beginning of my complaint they set need 48 hours to review my case took them about week to respond. Missed second email so they closed case .

Bought this hive as a starter kit for my new hobby of beekeeping. Arrived promptly and have been slowly building the boxes and frames before the bees are available at end of May. Boxes themselves were pretty easy to assemble. They are coated with wax however this does seem patchy and some areas do not seem to have much wax in them. The medium frames in general were relatively easy to put together however the deep frames were a big problem. The finishing and cutting of the pieces that lock together are very poor. Almost every side piece ended up splitting as the notches were either off center or were too big by approx 2mm. It was almost impossible fit the deep frames together and had to spend hours chipping away or repairing broken side pieces. Ended up having to buy new deep frames from a local hive making company. The plastic foundations for the frames do not feel lime they have enough of a beeswax coating. Again I am having to buy additional beeswax to ensure the coating is correct. Overall the hive looks good although I think the observation windows are a gimmick as you are not going to see much in the hive. The quality and accuracy of the finishing is what lets it down. I would recommend sourcing your hive from a local supplier.

It is something a 2nd grader would put together the boxed once put togther are uneven leaving large gaps between boxes

These beehives I bought from you are not of good quality and they came with missing materials. 20 deep frames and 10 medium sized frames and glass were missing.
