New to the wee beasties they love you if you love them, but like all independent residents, They don,t tell you they need more space, If you set up in beekeeping have two hives, then when they swarm you will have somewhere to put them , We have jumped from one to four in a week. I am now known as the mad bee hive maker

Poor quality wood. Cedar should last a long time due to its oil content and wood density. This is poor grade, I know it’s not the too price but still could be better, some parts were spongy, had to paint it to stop water penetration.

Comes in a big cardboard box with lots of bits. Good fun if you like DIY, and are skilful with drill, hammer and screws. A picture framer's corner jig is also useful. Good to buy from the manufacturers, who were prompt and helpful with solving minor assembly problems. Nice firm to deal with.
