Beginner’s Special Beehive Starter Box | 8 Frame & 10 Frame | Unassembled & Wax-Dipped

Start your beekeeping journey with confidence using our Beginner’s Special Beehive Starter Box, available in both 8 Frame and 10 Frame options. This complete starter kit is designed for new beekeepers and includes everything you need to assemble and operate your first hive—just add frame wire and foundation, and you’re ready to go!

Expertly Crafted & Wax-Dipped for Longevity

Each hive is made from premium New Zealand Pine, precision-cut with dovetail joints, pre-drilled, and countersunk for easy assembly. Components are wax-dipped for 15 minutes in a microcrystalline blend to remove moisture and protect the timber—extending the hive’s lifespan well beyond 20 years. Some wax-dipped hives are still in use after 50+ years.
