Amish-Crafted Quality — Made in the USA
This 8-Frame Fully Assembled Beehive Kit is built by skilled Amish craftsmen in Ohio for lasting precision and strength. Each component is crafted from premium Eastern White Pine, ensuring durability, stability, and light weight for easier handling during inspections.
This hive includes two deep brood boxes and one medium super, offering an ideal balance of brood space and honey storage. Every box, frame, and foundation arrives fully assembled—ready to install and start your colony immediately.
Why Choose an 8-Frame Hive?
8-frame hives are 20 % lighter than 10-frame versions, reducing strain during inspections and harvesting. Despite their smaller size, they offer the same functionality and compatibility as traditional Langstroth systems—perfect for both new and experienced beekeepers.
