Fully Assembled 10-Frame Starter Kit

The Honey Keeper beginner beehive kit arrives fully assembled and painted, so new beekeepers can start managing a colony without building components from scratch. Solid wood construction and a protective finish guard the hive against moisture and UV exposure for longer service life. The set includes a telescoping cover, notched inner cover, 10-frame hive body, bottom board, entrance reducer and ten pre-assembled frames.

Complete Hive Body with Beeswax Foundation

This single deep box replaces the need to source separate bodies, frames and foundations for a first apiary. Ten wood frames come pre-loaded with beeswax-coated plastic foundation, giving bees an immediate surface for drawing comb and storing honey. The jump from loose parts to a ready-to-use hive is worth it when you want to install a package or nucleus colony the same day the equipment arrives.

Wood Dimensions and Entrance Reducer Fit

Verify that the 22 by 18-1/2 inch footprint suits your apiary layout and that the 13-1/8 inch height clears any overhead obstructions. Confirm the entrance reducer matches the bottom board opening supplied in the kit so you can regulate traffic and defence from day one. Ensure you have a level stand or pallet ready to support the assembled weight before the bees arrive.

Questions about this item

How much ground space does the 22" L x 18-1/2" W footprint need?

The assembled hive body measures 22 inches long by 18-1/2 inches wide, so allow at least that much level ground plus room to work around the sides.

Which component goes on first when stacking the telescoping cover, inner cover and hive body?

Place the bottom board, then the 10-frame hive body, then the notched inner cover, and finally the telescoping cover on top.

When should the beeswax-coated plastic foundation in the 10 frames be replaced?

Replace the foundation when the wax coating wears thin, the plastic warps, or comb becomes too dark and brittle after several seasons of use.
