Great hive easy assembled only down fall a super missing but they are going to send it out

it is what it is. a hive that will hold bees .the pine boxes are ok and fit together reasonably well,a little out here and there but nothing serious. The roof and floor are a not the best quality but the frames and foundation are as good as any i've bought from other suppliers . puzzling why no steel frame runners as i would expect a "complete beehive" to have some but ,having read the original offer ,runners were not listed .Had to wait for order but this was specified to some degree.No reply when i questioned the runner situation. To be fair, having given the hive two coats of warm wax/tutpentine and linseed oil mix it looks good and ,having been out on a stand through a few days of torrential rain ,no water ingress whatsoever .like a ducks back. All in all ,given that you get frames and foundation, a good deal and would probably buy again. runners would turn probably into definitely.

I ordered a complete hive kit, all the wood for the frames were missing and the sides for the supers too. Has been over a week now and still not heard back from them! Will be the last time I use them

All arrived safely. Still putting them
Together. Everything is fine. A good deal. Thank you.

I put it together easily enough I'm a joiner though, it's good value and I don't think I could make it for £150. I painted exterior with 2 coats water based paint, I'd allow 3-4 hours for assembly frames take quite a while.
