Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different grades of wood for hive bodies and supers?
Select - This grade is made of select lumber that has the least amount of imperfections allowed. This grade allows small tight knots on the outside of the box and small imperfections on the inside. No knots in the fingers, rabbets or hand holds are allowed.
Commercial - This is the most common grade requested by our customers and what is used in all of our kits. Commercial grade is functionally sound with an allowance for tight solid knots, small pitch pockets and small tight cracks. Imperfections that interfere with the structure and functionality of the box are not accepted.
Budget - These boxes are highly functional while allowing for multiple solid or loose knots, pitch pockets, cracks and knots in the fingers or rabbets. Imperfections that interfere with the structure or functionality of the box are not acceptable.
How do I get started?
First, we suggest you take a class or find yourself a mentor who is willing to work with you. Knowledge is power and the more you know the more successful you will be. You will then need to order your bees and purchase your hive kit and equipment.
Find beekeeping groups across the US. These local and regional groups often have monthly meetings that are full of good information and experienced beekeepers.
What equipment do I need?
To get started, you'll need a hive tool, smoker, protective clothing, hive (we recommend our Traditional Growing Apiary Kit), feeder, liquid feed (like Pro-Sweet), a pollen substitute (Ultra Bee or Bee Pro), and of course, bees for your hive body!
