Amish-Crafted Quality — Made in the USA
This 8-Frame Fully Assembled Beehive Kit blends traditional Amish craftsmanship with modern precision. Hand-built in Ohio from premium Eastern White Pine, each component is perfectly square, smooth, and durable for years of dependable use.
Featuring one deep brood box and one medium super, this hive provides the ideal balance between brood space and honey storage. Every box, frame, and foundation arrives fully assembled and ready for bees—no nails, hammers, or setup required.
Why Choose an 8-Frame Hive?
An 8-frame hive is about 20 % lighter than a 10-frame version, making it easier to handle during inspections and harvests. This smaller size reduces back strain while maintaining excellent productivity and Langstroth compatibility.
