Wax-Coated Beehive
A full Langstroth hive kit built from natural beeswax-coated fir wood — everything needed to start or expand a productive colony.
✔ Wax-coated fir — no painting needed
✔ 24 frames with CellTech foundations
✔ 20% lighter than 10-frame hives
Complete 8-frame Langstroth beehive with two deep brood boxes, a medium super, and all hardware — pre-treated with natural beeswax and ready to assemble.
WHAT IT IS This is a complete 8-frame Langstroth beehive kit built from high-grade fir wood and finished with a 100% natural beeswax coating. It includes every component needed to establish or expand a working hive, from the solid bottom board through the telescoping top cover. The 8-frame format reduces box weight by approximately 20% compared to standard 10-frame hives, making inspections and honey harvesting noticeably less demanding. KEY BENEFITS Beeswax coating provides moisture and UV resistance without painting or additional treatment Fir wood resists warping and cracking better than standard softwoods, holding structural integrity through years of outdoor use 8-frame design reduces box weight by approximately 20%, easing strain during repeated inspections and harvest Precision dovetail joints allow clean assembly without special tools Langstroth-standard dimensions ensure full compatibility with replacement parts and accessories from any supplier Entrance reducer included to manage colony access and airflow across seasons 24 frames ship with CellTech foundations pre-installed, giving bees a structured start without extra setup WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Unlike kits that ship unfinished wood requiring sealing before first use, this hive arrives factory-treated with 100% natural beeswax. The coating bonds to the wood rather than sitting on the surface, meaning it does not crack, peel, or require annual repainting, a common maintenance burden with untreated or paint-finished hives.
