What size is right for me?

Did you know the only difference in measurements between 10 frame and 8 frame boxes is the width? 8 frame equipment is narrower than 10 frame, and not always compatible with other 8 frame equipment as dimensions vary slightly by manufacturers. 10 frame equipment offers more space for brood and honey production.

    A Good Value - On SALE

    by P MILLER on Apr 01, 2022

    I agree with other people about the hive body fitment, it sets uneven or has a gap at the top allowing bees to crawl under the inner cover (nearly lost a hive due to excessive winter ventilation). I had to place cardboard strips on top of the hive body to seal off the air flow.. The kit itself is a great value because it has everything at a great (SALE) price. The top and bottom covers make this kit worth having when priced out separately. This is my opinion after assembling several commercial hive bodies and these HK-100 Kits.

    10 frame unassembled kit

    The quality of cuts and fit in this kit is superb. I've built my own from scratch, purchased kits from others, and purchased this from mann lake. I always run into fitment/alignment issues with other company's kits. The deep box everything lined up perfect and tight.

    Economical way to get a hive, wish it had screened bottom board. Looks like a good brood box.
