I have read all of the reviews for this hive and realized some people are either confused, or just don't understand wood joinery. I see people complaining the miter joints don't line up correctly. These are not miter joints, they are dove tail joints and they are supposed to be extremely tight, hence the need for a rubber mallet to set them correctly. See how they kinda' look like little dove tails? Unfortunately our Chinese friends aren't really that great at cutting these joints and some of them are actually looser then they should be. I'm guessing this is why they sent along a bag of nails which you should NEVER need when working with properly cut dove tail joints. So let's jump right in. The fit of 95% of the dove tail joints were very good, the other five percent are just too loose and you will need some sort of fastener. Speaking of fasteners they send you a bag of nails . . . throw those in the trash. Any wood working project worth doing requires screws, and this is a project which requires screws. Remember this is going to be outdoors year round and variations in temperature will cause the nails to pop, and back right out of their holes. Eventually the whole thing will loosen up and get wobbly. Screws solve this problem forever. The directions tell you to drill pilot holes, if you're going to bother drilling pilot holes you should put screws in them NOT nails. Also you only need screws on one side of the joints, always drill through the wide side of the dove tail not the thin side. That being said, some of the parts come pre-assembled, the base, the inside lid, and the outside lid. Again our Chinese friends cheaped out and used staples to fasten these together. Fortunately their cheapness works to our advantage. On all the pre-assembled parts anywhere you see a staple is a perfect place to drill a pilot hole and sink a screw. Yeah I know you're saying 'damn that seems like a lot of work" but trust me when you can take a cheaply made product like this and turn it into a solid product it's worth the time. The last thing I want to address is the top cover. It's well made (it needs screws) however I did notice they soldered the corners to make it water tight but they didn't get the very top of the corner (see the pics), I'll probably hit them with a dot of solder just to close up the hole. All in all, its a good kit provided you are willing to put in the work to make it a great kit. I gave it a five because I was able to work with it and turn it into a great kit. If you don't want to go to all the trouble, then spend the extra few bucks and buy an American made kit. Hope this review helps. Oh and I used Power-Pro Outdoor Wood Screws 8 x 1-3/4 Review: Perfect Hive! - I am so happy with this hive. It came in perfect condition and delivered quickly via Fedex. It is of excellent quality! The supers are cedar and the frames pine. I dont know why one review said the boxes were pine? Anyone who has ever had a hamster or rabbit knows the smell of cedar shavings. The boxes are definitely ceda! Everything went together quickly and easily like building Legos. 🥰 The only negative is that the plastic honeycomb inserts for the frames DO NOT come coated with wax. I read somewhere they did so I didn't order separate wax. You need to buy your wax separate and apply a thin coating so the bees can get started. Will definitely be purchasing more. ## Features - 2-Tier hive: Premium solid wood construction for a durable hive. Includes one deep hive body box, which serve as the colony’s living quarters. This is the hive’s largest component, holding ten frames of honeycomb. One medium super box collects surplus honey harvested from your bees and holds ten medium frames with foundations. - 20 Frames with foundations: Our Langstroth Beehive Kit comes with twenty removable solid-wood frames, with plastic foundations, designed to support the honeycomb. The kit includes ten deep brood frames and foundations, and ten medium super frames and foundations, which bees use to make their honeycombs. - Telescoping cover and bottom board: This heavy-duty galvanized metal cover, prevents rust, protects your beehive and the colony from the outdoor elements, and helps extend the life of the wood hive. The bottom board supports the weight of the entire hive and protects the colony and the floor of your hive from the damp ground. - Entrance reducer: A notched wooden strip allows you to control the bottom entrance’s size to protect the colony. It limits bee access to the hive and helps control ventilation and temperature during colder months. This wooden entrance reducer cleat is removable to allow full entrance. - Queen excluder: The flat plastic rack limits the queen to the two lower deep hive bodies. Large holes allow the worker bees to enter, yet these holes are small enough to keep queen bee out. This helps with preventing the queen bee from laying eggs inside the Medium Super Box so honey can be collected - not the eggs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 792 Reviews | ## Images ![Honey Keeper Beehive 20 Frame Complete Box Kit (10 Deep and 10 Medium) with Metal Roof for Langstroth Beekeeping - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S+6ciAyZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you paint this box?** A: It is best to give it two coats of white exterior paint.

We have odered about over 4 of these by now (4 at this time, about to order a couple more). These are great. The best boxes I have bought today. Assembly is a breeze. I used a light air stapler and rubber mallet. Both tools should be in a beekeepers tool box/shed (stapler makes assembly and repairs on a damaged or cracked hive a breeze, Ryobi makes a battery powered aircompressor and stapler for a decent price, i dont even need to move the bees for repairs anymore). Dovetail joints are tight and hold really well. The frames assembled quick and easy. It will about two hours at most to assemble one of these, less then an hour with two experienced beekeepers. Took to some basic outside paint really well, and looked good when finished. And wired a couple of frames instead of backing them, the wood held the wire tight with no give from the fasteners, you don't want the wire to slip and a few pounds of honey filled cimb crashing out. One word of advice, don't use the supplied nails, or if you do, follow the directions and predrilled the holes, the wood will split if you send them right in. This is the same for all hive construction. I live in a very dry are and use staples as they are least likely to split wood, next closest would be finish nails. Otherwise you should predrill any holes for screws or nails. I use bees wax, but non toxic wood glue to use for any gaps is likely the only other thing needed. ## Frequently Bought Together - Honey Keeper Beehive 20 Frame Complete Box Kit (10 Deep and 10 Medium) with Metal Roof for Langstroth Beekeeping - Honey Keeper Beehive 10 Frame Kit Super Box and 10 Deep Frames with Foundations for Langstroth Beekeeping - LONGADS Professional Bee Suit for Men Women, Beekeeping Suit Beekeeper Suit with Glove &Ventilated Hood, Multi-Size Bee Outfit for Backyard and Bee Keeper for Bee Keeper Catcher Christmas Costume --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31638359-honey-keeper-beehive-20-frame-complete-box-kit-10-deep](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31638359-honey-keeper-beehive-20-frame-complete-box-kit-10-deep) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
