I bought this for my wife, who wants to get into beekeeping. I saw it shared on an Instagram profile I follow. The shipping was quick and the assembly instructions were very easy to follow. I had the whole thing assembled in approximately an hour. All the pieces and parts are great quality and it’s clear whoever designed these about the materials. My wife was super happy to get it as a birthday present last week, and can’t wait to dive. Thank you so much!

I typically buy from major bee supply companies but saw a couple of new beekeepers with Beecastle hives. I liked the quality and the looks and especially the price. Much cheaper than the big boys charge. I bought one from Amazon and two directly from Beecastle. All 3 had the same problem of poor packaging and all boxes were damaged a little. So far just 1 entrance reducer was broken. No big deal, I will glue it. But all had a corner or edge dinged a little. They are very heavy and Fedex is probably doing the best they can. Better reinforced boxes would help with all the loose parts. The one thing I am waiting to see is how the wax coating holds up. Wort case is I will have to sand and paint.
But yes, I plan on buying more from Beecastle. I run 2 deeps for brood and a minimum of 1 medium for honey. The other new beekeepers ordered 1 deep an 1 medium. Then had to come up with a 2nd deep. Much cheaper to order 2 deeps and 1 medium together.

We use lots of these hives. The ones in this video are about 5 years old and while they look a little worn, they are in great shape. We continue to order more each year as our apiary expands.

I have tried a few different companies and these definitely seem to be of the best quality. Fitment is always very good and the frames seem much sturdier than others. They are also quick to resolve any issues. Would highly recommend. My bees also approve+

Mark H.
Excellent quality. Bought wo other brands and the quality of the wood and the joints were inferior. Sent them back and now will only by BeeCastle.
Anthony B.
I have two hives and absolutely love them! Easy to put together and excellent quality!
Nigel B.
Precise measurements, very easy to put together. Put the whole hive together in less than an hour. Exterior and frames coated in wax.
Dark frames for the deeps to make it easy to find larvae. The best value I've seen.
Arthur M.
Love our bee castle hives. We have 8 of them in our apiary. They are holding up well. Easy to assemble and look great!
Steven B.
Amazing hive, well waxed and easy to set up and use. High quality parts and very well set up for the newbee to the profesional
Blagoj S.
Great quality and craftsmanship.
I really like it and will be watching over the years and see how well the wax will hold on the exterior.
I have never used any that are waxed.
But this unit looks solid.
Definitely recommend it A++++
David P.
A great product! I love the cedar wax-coated boxes. They fit together extremely well and the bees take to the wax-coated foundations well. As you can see in my Apiary, I've been using BeeCastle for a few years now and will continue to be a customer!
Gregory G.
Shipping was fast. It went together very well and we are just waiting on the bees
Matt B.
Great quality parts and build. Good wax coating everywhere. Parts fit perfectly. We built 6 of these and 2 of other brands. These are far better. Excellent price as well.
Brandon C.
Assembly was super easy, everything fit nice and crisp. The dimensions were perfect it matched rite up to my bee smart bottom board and my burns feeding board, and let's face it, it just looks awesome.
CURT C.
Love the new Bee castle hive only thing I wish you guys would’ve done is when Emailed about a part missing you responded pretty quickly, but I’ve yet seen the replacement part yet has been a while now so communication between you folks and customers I wouldn’t rate it too high. At least that’s my experience maybe that’s not true with everybody. I can only talk about what I’ve gone through with your company.
Duane W.
Great product solid pieces can't wait to use it my bees will be here April 27th ill tell you more after that thanks again
Dahlia S.

Went together great
Steve S.
Bought 3 of these to assemble. Very good quality, but had a couple of splits that were easily glued. Having 3 to do, I can say that for me, it was easier to turn the box upside down and open them so I started assembling the deeps first, then the supers, then frames. That gave me a good place to put the frames as I finished them.
Took maybe 90 minutes to assemble each one as well as glue all the joints.
The wax was awesome on these! Very nice looking when completed, and when I took the hives back to where I was setting them, I had several scout bees investigating the frames. While I have not gotten to pick my purchased bees up yet, squatters were not welcome, so I had to make sure to block all the entrances up. I'm sure I'll need to buy more hives pretty soon after getting my bees, so will likely be ordering more castles
Michael P.
Perfect hive for personal or professional use!,, easy assembly with quality wood that is solid, one piece and milled perfectly with no splits, checks or chips.
Daniel K.
Just received them, it's now March, the real test will come in April. They look great.
William D.
Was very easy to assemble step by step directions. I am a very satisfied customer and recommend this product.
Emil A.
high quality hive at a great price. Easy to assemble. All hardware included. quick delivery
David S.
I admit I am new to beekeeping, but I have seen other hives at local stores and other places and they don't compare to BeeCastle. The joints are perfect, the wood is top quality. I am a pretty good woodworker and I don't see how I can possibly make my own hives at the cost they sell these at. I wanted to make my own hives. I enjoy building things, but it just didn't make sense. Maybe if your comparing with other manufactures with crappy joints and #2 or #3 lumber, but not with these guys. I'm curious how the wax coating vs painting will hold up over time... will see on that.
Rufus K.
I do belive that your wax coated bee castle bee hives are the best on the market!
And your prices are extremely competitive with other suppliers who's hives are lower quality.

Bee Castle's Three Box Beehive (2 Deep - 1 Medium Super) are made of quality wood and dipped in Bee's Wax to help preserve the life of the wood. They are super easy to put together. They have a sweet woody smell from the bee's wax. Made the room smell really good. The top cover has a metal covering to help protect from the weather. The way that they are designed, and the quality of wood and materials used makes it a real sturdy piece of equipment for my apiary. I'm very happy with the Bee Castle products. Thanks again Bee Castle for putting out Solid Products!
Brad P.
I haven't been able to put them to use until spring when my Bee Nuc's arrive. But they are built really well and are very sturdy. They are a Great product not to mention the beautiful appearance they have from the heavily coated layer of bee's wax that bring out the beauty of the wood. They are very easy to put together and the instructions are pretty self-explanatory. Bee Castle and the employees are GREAT to work with and very quick in getting the products shipped out. I will continue to buy from them and their products. Their website is very easy to maneuver through and easy to understand they blogs are a great tool to learn from. I have nothing to say but GOOD about Bee Castle, their products and Their Team. Great Job! Keep up the Great Work. I'm excited for spring to get here. Again Thank You Bee Castle.

Absolutely love this craftsmanship.
Robert Bridges
Typo? I hope
BeeCastle has good products at very fair pricing and I have bought items from them. However, $3,978 for a 10 frame beeswax coated 2 deep and 1 medium hive. Wonder how many I should get?
Jill Reynolds
Best ever Bee boxes
I love the design, the dove tail joiners, the was coating, everything. They are functional and beautiful. I am getting some to add to my hives and my customers are loving them. Easy to assemble!
Todd Cepica
10 Frame Hive
This is an excellent hive with dove tail joints and wax coating. I'm a woodworker and I feel certain I could not build a hive at this quality and price point. It is an excellent product for the money.
