The Hoover Hives® Complete 8-Frame Beehive Kit is a premium Langstroth-compatible hive package built for easier handling and long-term durability.

Designed for Compatibility
This kit follows standard 8-frame Langstroth measurements, making it compatible with most 8-frame beekeeping components including additional supers, feeders, and common hive accessories.
Why Choose This Configuration
The 8-frame format helps keep hive boxes more manageable. Fewer frames per box means lower individual box weight, which is especially helpful during inspections, honey harvest, and seasonal maintenance. This design offers a balanced setup for brood space and honey storage without the bulk of a full 10-frame system.
Quality You Can Count On
Hoover Hives products are known for practical, dependable construction. The natural beeswax coating protects the wood from moisture and decay while creating a familiar surface for bees. The combination of fir boxes and wax-coated foundations delivers a durable hive solution built for years of outdoor service.
