Amish Made Langstroth Beehive 8 Frame Deep Brood Box with Frames & Foundations - Premium Beekeeping Supplies for Honey Production & Pollination

Lumbar is good quality; Joints are tight and need simple woodworking mallet for a "gentle but firm" pre-fit. No instructions or hardware included. Recommend drilling guide holes and using flat head wood screws instead of nails for the sturdiest box. There was no splitting or splintering of wood. After a gentle sanding and tack cloth, a coat of anti-mildew primer paint went on very smoothly. Frames easy to assemble and the wax-coated Plasticel sturdy and simple to install BEFORE adding the bottom bar. (Plasticel was in box without wrapping and had sawdust and wood splinters stuck to it; I'm sure the bees can remove it, but please ship wrapped in recycled paper). Recommend using four 1/2" nails on your frames- not included.
