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

    Quality

    by Raymond Wolfgramm on Nov 18, 2024

    I've been buying the a priori kit for many years, and the quality has steadily gotten worse. The bottom boards don't even last two seasons. The paint is very thin won't be buying these until they start improving on them again.

    Works like it should

    by CYNTHIA BRIGGS on Sep 17, 2024

    The only problem is it comes with the Supers but no Queen Excluder. You also have to buy a screen bottom as an additional Expense. I would have rather had a choice to pay a bit extra and have the screen bottom and the queen Excluder. They could add that as a drop down choice as well as choosing the 10 frame/8frame.

    Traditional Growing Apiary Kit

    by Leslie Lantz on May 05, 2022

    Paint job keeps getting worse especially corners. Always plan to repaint the entire kit. Inspect carefully to see if "bad wood"(depressed, wrinkled, soft to touch) is below the paint. Bought these for many years, but keeps getting worse. Please get better again.

    Good Start - Needs Queen Excluder Included

    by Hunter on Mar 29, 2022

    Got a swarm of bees caught and in a nuc, so came to buy a complete hive setup for them this year. Bought this, later realized it doesn't include a queen excluder, so I'm back to buy the one piece this kit is missing. Kind of a big oversight. Would be 5/5, but knocked a star off for missing the excluder. Still love MannLake, but y'all need to add an excluder to this package.
