Amish-Crafted Quality — Made in the USA
This 8-Frame Fully Assembled & Painted Beehive Kit showcases the skill and precision of Amish craftsmanship—combining beauty, strength, and functionality in one ready-to-use hive. Hand-built in Ohio from premium Eastern White Pine, each hive body is perfectly cut, square, and smooth, then professionally painted for weather protection and lasting durability.
Designed with one deep brood box for colony growth and one medium honey super for honey production, this kit is ideal for both beginners and experienced beekeepers. Each frame includes 100 % wax-coated foundations, providing a secure start for your bees and ensuring easy comb building.
Why Choose an 8-Frame Hive?
8-frame hives weigh roughly 20 % less than standard 10-frame systems, making them easier to lift during inspections and harvests while maintaining full Langstroth compatibility. Perfect for backyard and small-scale beekeepers seeking manageability without compromise.
