Ready-to-Use Langstroth Starter Kit
This Honey Keeper kit delivers a fully assembled and painted deep hive body built with dovetail joints for structural strength. It is designed for new beekeepers who want to begin managing a colony immediately without constructing woodenware. The 10-frame capacity brood box arrives with essential hive components already fitted and protected from the elements.
Included Hive Components and Dimensions
The brood box measures 22 x 18-1/2 x 35 and holds up to 10 frames, with five black food-grade plastic foundations dipped in 100 percent beeswax supplied. A galvanised steel telescoping cover, inner cover and solid wooden bottom board are all painted for durability. Component dimensions include a telescoping top cover of 18-1/2 x 22 x 2-7/8, an inner cover of 16-1/4 x 19-7/8 x 3/4 and a solid bottom board of 16-1/4 x 22 x 2-9/16.
Protective Gear and Tools Bundle
The kit adds a cotton beekeeping jacket with reinforced upright veil and elbow-length leather gloves, both in XXL sizing. A stainless steel smoker tool measuring 10.5 x 11 x 11 and a curved stainless steel hive tool of 10 length are included for hive inspections. A 1-inch diameter bee escape is also provided to assist with colony management tasks.

Questions about this item
How do I install the telescoping cover on the 22 x 18-1/2 x 35 hive body without leaving gaps?
Place the 18-1/2 x 22 x 2-7/8 metal-capped cover squarely over the inner cover so its rim overlaps the hive body walls on all four sides; the common mistake is setting it askew so wind lifts an edge.
Which parts of this kit will need replacement first under normal apiary use?
The five black food-grade plastic foundations dipped in 100% beeswax and the cotton XXL jacket with reinforced veil wear out before the dovetailed wooden boxes or stainless steel tools.
What is the first limit reached when the smoker runs continuously during long inspections?
The 10.5-inch diameter by 11-inch high stainless steel smoker holds a finite fuel volume, so burn time ends before heat or airflow becomes an issue.
