The Standard

sold in last days

The pages of American History have been laced with the beautiful craftsmanship and undying work ethic of the Amish. Since 1852, when the first Langstroth hive was invented, the Amish have been fashioning hives like this one to give honeybees a new home and a fighting chance.

Made in the USA, this hive has engrained itself in the minds of Americans as "The Standard" beehive. Its 2 deep brood boxes and 1 medium honey super is recognized from sea to shining sea as one of the most versatile and common configurations among bee enthusiasts.

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.

Our beehives leave the warehouse in mint condition. In transit wooden beehives can become damaged.

We ship your beehives out during business hours -- we typically ship within 24 to 48 hours of when the order was placed. In some cases we do ship your product out on the same day you order it, but if not, you can expect it to be shipped on the following day.

Please note that if you are ordering an assembled product, this may take a little more time.

We use both FedEx and UPS to ship our products, whichever is faster. We ship from central Ohio and on average products take 1 to 5 business days to reach your house.

We try our very best to get your beehives to you as fast as possible.

Depending on your order, at times our beehives can be too large to ship in just one package. For your convenience, we will split large orders into multiple boxes that are easier to carry.

Although all of your packages will have left our facility at the same time, please do not be surprised if they do not arrive at the same time. Shipping companies can sometimes be unpredictable, but rest assured your packages will be there soon. Please check your confirmation email for your tracking number(s).

Please order and assemble your hive well in advanced to the arrival of your bees so you know there will be no issues.

To qualify for free shipping, you must purchase $50 or more in products and live within the contiguous United States (excludes Alaska, Hawaii, & Puerto Rico). If your order doesn't quite hit the $50 mark, we have a number of low cost accessories that can be added to your order.

If you wish to have beehives shipped to you out of the United States, then please contact us via email and we'll get you a rate quote.
