A complete 10-frame full depth wooden beehive, ready to go
Brood box, super, bottom board and vented lid – all assembled, hot wax dipped and painted, so the hive can go straight into the apiary. Start with one super and add more as the colony builds up.
22mm New Zealand pine, secured with screws
The boxes are prime, knot-free seasoned New Zealand pine, 22mm thick, with accurately machined finger joint corners secured by 40 galvanised steel screws – not nails or staples – and four hand grips make a full box easier to lift.
Hot wax dipped, then painted
The brood box and full depth supers are hot wax dipped, then triple painted while still hot: the wax penetrates the timber to repel moisture and reduce the risk of rot, and the paint adds a durable finish against weather and UV.
Choose your bottom board
Marine Ply – a fully assembled marine ply base with solid cleats and wood risers, hot wax dipped for longevity. Simple and hard-wearing.

Its pest drawer catches Varroa, small hive beetle and wax moth larvae that fall through (use it with a sticky mat or a light film of oil), it has a built-in pollen trap, the entrance opens, closes and adjusts in width, and the grill design ventilates the hive in hot weather while helping remove moisture when it is cold.

The commercial design migratory wax dipped and painted cover incorporates a Galvabond metal top and four vents.

Our wooden bee hives for sale are complete hives in one order: a brood box, a super, a bottom board and a vented migratory lid, ready to set on a stand and fill with frames. Every hive is a Langstroth design in knot-free New Zealand pine, made in 8-frame or 10-frame width, and you can add as many supers as you need on the product page.
Choosing between them comes down to two measurements. Width: an 8-frame bee hive is lighter to lift once the supers are full of honey, while a 10-frame hive gives the colony more comb per box. Depth: full depth is the traditional brood box, while a WSP hive uses shallower boxes all the way up, so every box is easier on your back and takes the same size frame.
The ready-to-go hives arrive assembled from 22mm pine, screwed rather than nailed, and painted – hot wax dipped as well on every model except the 10-frame WSP – so they can go straight into the apiary. On the 10-frame hives you can choose a marine ply bottom board or an Apimaye Type-G base with a pest tray, pollen trap and adjustable entrance. Prefer to build your own? The flat-pack beehive kits come as raw timber to assemble and seal with paint, wax or a timber treatment, and our complete DIY beehive kits add frames, foundation and a queen excluder.
Frames and queen excluders are chosen separately, so you can match them to the way you keep bees: see hive frames for full depth and WSP boxes, and queen excluders. New to beekeeping? A beekeeping starter kit adds protective gear and hand tools. Already running hives and only need more boxes? Head to beehive boxes and supers. Not sure which hive suits you?
