Small knots in the hand hold are acceptable, unless in the thin part of hand hold. Black edge knots or planer skips with½" (1.27 cm) the thickness or less can be missing from the top or bottom of the board. Made in the USA.

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.

    Unassembled 9 5/8" Commercial Grade Deep Hive Box

    by Cathy on Apr 13, 2024

    I bought 3 boxes in the Clarkson, Ky store. I had no problem with 2 of them. However, the 3rd box would not sit flush when it was placed on top of another box. One side had a very prominent gap. The box was square and the joints were fit together correctly. It was the board that was the problem. It was very disappointing. I live too far away to go back and ask for an exchange.

    Not good quality

    The edges of the boxes were quite broken and was tough to put them together. Not satisfied.

    As close to perfect as you can get...

    Great boxes. The joints fit perfectly and sat perfectly on the boxes I placed them on. No gaps!

    Too many knots in the pine to be called Commercial grade in comparison to previous purchases.
