User questions & answers

Question:	Where are they made
Answer:	I was disappointed. It comes from China
Question:	Is it possible to receive a direct quote to buy in bulk for you
Answer:	Bulk is great if it saves money and time
Question:	does this come with everything you need, minus the bees
Answer:	It comes with a complete hive. You would need protective gear, tools (smoker, hive tool, etc), pest management stuff, a feeder and feed in addition to the bees.
Question:	Assembly instructions. Box didn’t come with assembly instructions. Where can I get a copy
Answer:	The dovetail will all interlock so take 2 sides and a front (or back), making sure handles are all with curved side down, push the interlocking pieces together with one side and end piece, then the other. Repeat the same with the opposing end piece and then use nails to secure every other peg or so, to keep together. Then, for frames, take long widest piece, fit the shorter side pieces over each end, fit a screen panel in the groove and then take slender long piece and clamp down on opposite end of side pieces until you create each framed screen. Nail with smaller nails on ends to keep secured. Once box is together and frames are ready you can see the track you drop the wider piece of frame into, much like a hanging file folder, and you're good to go.

Product description

Hoover Hives are known for their beautiful and skillfully crafted beehives. Every exterior hive part that may encounter rain or snow has been built with Fir wood and has been coated in 100% natural beeswax to help weather the elements. We’ve thoughtfully chosen to use Fir wood over the traditional Pine because Fir has a tighter knit grain-flow within the wood than Pine does. This makes our exterior parts far more durable and less likely to shrink, expand, warp, or twist from the rain than Pine would. Once we’ve cut the wood, we dip each part into a pool of natural beeswax. We allow the beeswax to be soaked into the hive parts. This not only protects the wood, but is also what gives our hives their natural golden honey lustrous allure. The delicate details of our durable dovetails were designed to hold together for years to come and create a joint that will stay perfectly square. After months of testing, we decided to have our frames come from the forests of New Zealand Pine. We’ve chosen this wood because it handles the meticulous cuts that are necessary for the grooves in our frames better than Fir handled it. This hive kit comes with two different types of CellTech foundations that have both been dipped in 100% beeswax to encourage your bees to quickly accept their new home and make an even layer of comb. The first type of foundation is a black food grade foundation made for the deep brood frames. The second type is a natural honey colored foundation made for the medium super frames. This kit also includes a Telescoping Top Cover that has been capped with galvanized steel to resist rust. The solid bottom board will reroute the wind chill and help keep your bees well insulated during cooler months. The Inner Cover has been and has an multipurpose oval opening cut out of the middle. Hoover Hives 10 frame hive parts use dimensions that are consistent with the industry standard and are interchangeable with all other Langstroth 10 frame beehives.

• 2 Heavy Wax Coated Deep Brood Boxes (16-1/4″ x 19-7/8″ x 9-5/8″) with High Quality Dovetail Pine Frames
• Heavy Wax Coated Medium Super Boxes (16-1/4″ x 19-7/8″ x 6-5/8″) with High Quality Dovetail Pine Frames
• 30 Food Grade Plastic Foundations, Coated with Real Bee's Wax
• Wax Coated Solid Bottom Board and Telescoping Top Cover (Metal Capped)
• Includes Inner Cover, Plastic Queen Excluder (essential for Honey Production), Entrance Reducer, & Nails for Assembly

User questions & answers

Question:	Which stand are you using with this hive? Thx
Answer:	I used a solid top wooded pallet with 4 large steel washer to raise hive in four corners to prevent wood on wood contact.
Question:	Can I add more supers to this down the road
Answer:	Yes we will have individual super boxes available later this spring.
Question:	What pieces does this hive come with
Answer:	(1) - Inner Cover (1) - Wax Coated Bottom Board (1) - Wax Coated Outer Cover (4) - Wax Coated Brood Side (2) - Wax Coated Super Side (4) - Wax Coated Brood Front (2) - Wax Coated Super Front (1) - Queen Excluder (20) - Brood Wax Coated Foundations (10) - Super Wax Coated Foundations (40) - Brood Frame Side (20) - Super Frame Side (30) - Top Frame (30) - Bottom Frame
Question:	Being that the wood is "waxed" does it need to be painted as well? If not does it require periodic waxing
Answer:	Wax is a natural way to protect the wood hive with out using paint. You can wax the hive periodically, but is not required.

Answer:	No the frames come unassembled.
Question:	The kit comes with an oval plastic item that seems to fit on the oval hole of the inner cover. How do we assemble and use

Question:	one of the reviews below stated this is for an 8 frame hive. I read now it says 10 frame. Has this been hive been upgraded
Answer:	It is an 8 frame hive

Product description

Are you thinking about becoming a beekeeper? With this starter kit, NuBee has compiled everything you need to have a strong start in your new hobby. They've aimed for an affordable package, that also has the durability to last for years.

This starter kit is 'Nuc Ready' which means it contains 5 wax coated frames made from food grade plastic instead of 10. The reason for this is because when you buy your bees they commonly come in '5 Frame Nucs' that already have bees and honeycomb on it. With this kit, you'll be able to slip your 5 frame nuc into this hive to have a full 10 frame hive.

The hive is easy to set up and comes painted and preassembled. This save you a lot of time, money, and effort while trying to find paints that don't have toxic volatile organic compound (VOC's) in them.

This kit also includes protective gear like a pair of elbow length gloves, a jacket with a cinched bottom end, and a reinforced veil to stand up right and away from your head.

NuBee has also included accessories like The Original Smoker to help calm and distract your bees while you're handling the hive. The hive tool can be used to pry open the hive boxes, scrape away unwanted comb and help you pick up frames.

NuBee beehives are constructed using Fir wood and have dovetail joints for greater durability. They use CellTech foundations that have already been coated in 100% beeswax to ensure your bees quickly develop an even layer of comb. Their foundations are made of food grade plastic and have been colored for useful purposes. The black food grade plastic was chosen for the deep brood frames to make it easier for you to inspect the white brood eggs against a dark background.

• Beginners Beekeeping Kit Is Ready For Your New Bees - Fits a 5 Frame Nuc Ready Bee Supply
• 1 Deep Brood Box (16-1/4″ x 19-7/8″ x 9-5/8″) Painted and Completely Assembled Using Dovetail Joints
• 5 CellTech Deep Brood Frames/Foundations Made From Black Food Grade Plastic Dipped in 100% Beeswax
• Includes Metal Capped Telescoping Top Cover, Inner Cover, & Solid Wooded Bottom Board (All Painted)

User questions & answers

Question:	The directions could be better. I see 3 sizes of nails with no explanation as to where they are used. Could you tell where the nails are used
Answer:	Each frame will get 4 small nails. 2 on top, 2 on the bottom.. in alignment with the sides of the frame. I'd suggest using wood glue as well for extra support and durability.

Why Choose NuBee Hives?



From day one NuBee has sought to lower barriers that prevent people from picking up the veil and becoming a backyard beekeeper. With this goal in mind, NuBee originally focused on developing an 8 frame hive that would be as light and durable as possible, at an honest price.

Since then NuBee has grown into 10 frame beehives and are now a favorite first hive among beekeepers. Their balance between high quality and affordability is second to none. They continue to delight customers with their attention to detail at such a great price. Every joint has been cut using dovetails to ensure a perfectly square hive.

NuBee uses a combination of Fir and Pine to produce treasures that will last for years to come. The craftsmanship is noteworthy and their hive parts are cut using the same industry standard dimensions that all other Langstroth beehive brands are made with. This means every one of their parts are interchangeable with any other 10 frame beehive parts you may already have.

These days, NuBee continues to lower barriers by dedicating its extra time to teaching beekeepers how to start successful apiaries. They are not only equipping you with the right tools, but are focusing on equipping you with the right knowledge on how to use them.

• These hives make a perfect starter kit for the beekeeper who wants to save time and effort. Painting & Assembling your hive can be a huge hassle. NuBee put this complete hive kit together to help you start your beekeeping journey with less obstacles.
• Bee Hives built with dovetail joints are more reliable, durable, and help build better looking honey comb. Dovetail joints keep your bee boxes perfectly square. They make nails and glue unnecessary - but you can still use them for added support.
• NuBee beehives come in a variety of sizes. Choosing your size depends on what your intentions are & where you come from. Most beekeepers in the North use 2 deep brood boxes, while Southern states use 1 deep brood box to help get them through winter.
• NuBee complete hive kits use CellTech frames and foundations. CellTech has made a name for themselves by always dipping their foundations in 100% natural beeswax to help ensure that your bees quickly build an even layer of comb.
• Every NuBee hive kit and hive part has been cut using industry standard dimensions. Any 10 frame hive part will be compatible with NuBee's Langstroth hive - regardless of if you use other brands. For measurements see the Product Description below.
