NuBee 8-Frame Beehive Kit – Complete Langstroth Hive with 1 Deep & 1 Medium Box, Wax-Coated Foundations, Telescoping Cover, and Queen Excluder – Beginner-Friendly & Durable Beekeeping Kit

Q: How many bees does this hold?

I started my hive just over a year ago and the bottom box of this hive was enough space to house a nuke hive and its expansion for a few months. I bought a second 8 frame box later in the summer and added it. This summer my hive swarmed because it was overcrowded. I cannot tell you how many bees that it took for my hive to be overcrowded, but I can tell you that 2 x 8 framed boxes was probably ok to house a years worth of hive growth. However, each queen’s production rate varies, so you’ll need to monitor. The top box of this hive is for honey production. It comes with a queen excluder, so that the queen can’t lay eggs in the honey comb. My advice to you would be to find yourself a mentor to give you advice and run to your assistance when things go awry. I was lucky enough to find someone to help at a party, but I’m sure you can look online and find someone local. There are also great books about bee keeping available. You’ll need to study a bit to know when and what to feed them, how to insulate the hive in winter if necessary etc. I’m pretty hands off with my hive and it seems to do pretty well with minimal interference from me, but I definitely benefitted from have the advice of my mentor. Good luck with your hive and welcome to the bee keeping club!

Q: Are the bees included?

No you will have to get the bees on your own.

Q: Is this available with ten frsmes?

Frames?are the standard size as most hives. Get the 10 frame kit. Its more common and easier to get accessories for. Not sure if this seller makes a 10 frame but the quality of this kit was good for the relative cost. Just wouldnt recommend the 8 frame kit.
