10 Frame Budget Bee Hive Starter Kit - Assembled / Painted or Assembled / Wax Dipped

Introducing the 10 Frame Budget Bee Hive Starter Kit, the perfect launchpad for aspiring beekeepers looking to dive into the rewarding world of beekeeping without breaking the bank. Available in two durable finishes, Assembled / Painted and Assembled / Wax Dipped, this kit is designed to meet the needs of both novice and seasoned bee enthusiasts. **Assembled / Painted** Opt for our pre-assembled and beautifully painted option to add a splash of color to your garden or apiary. This selection ensures your hive is ready to withstand the elements, thanks to a layer of high-quality, weather-resistant paint that not only enhances the hive's appearance but also its durability. **Assembled / Wax Dipped** For those who prefer a more natural approach, our wax-dipped variant offers an eco-friendly alternative. The wax dipping process penetrates deep into the wood, providing long-lasting protection against rot and decay. This method not only extends the life of your hive but also maintains a more natural aesthetic. **Features:** - **10-Frame Capacity:** Designed to hold up to 10 frames (not included), providing ample space for your colony to grow and thrive. - **Ease of Use:** Both variants come fully assembled, saving you time and effort. Simply add your frames, and you're ready to welcome your bee colony. - **Durability:** Constructed from high-quality materials, designed to endure the harsh outdoor elements, ensuring your hive stands the test of time. - **Sustainable Beekeeping:** Start your beekeeping journey on the right foot with a kit that supports the health and expansion of your bee colony, contributing to the global effort of bee conservation.

If you have a small budget but would still like to get started in beekeeping, then this beekeeper starter kit is for you! Start your beekeeping adventure in honey bees out right with all the supplies that are needed to begin with - including a full bee suit! Once your colony has started expanding, you will need to add a second 9-5/8" deep brood box. 6-5/8" honey supers can be added once the bees have filled most of the second deep brood box, and the honey flow has begun. Our beginner beekeeping kits for sale contain all the supplies a beginning beekeeper will need to start their beekeeping adventure with! These beekeeping kits come assembled and ready to use, and are some of the best, most extensive available on the market today.

ALL NEW!! Our Beginner Kits come with your choice of Pierco Triple Waxed plastic one piece frames, or assembled wooden frames with Pierco Triple Waxed foundation! These frames / foundations have the heaviest coating of 100% beeswax available on the market!! The heavier coating of wax helps promote the bees acceptance, and the fresh, natural aroma of the wax helps encourage the bees to start working on it (prevents bees from leaving the hive after being installed, unlike lower grade foundations with less wax coating, found in cheaper hive setups). Your choice of all natural yellow, like beeswax, or black deep / yellow honey super. Why settle for less?

Please note: The difference in colors has nothing to do with the bees acceptance; it all has to do with the preference of each beekeeper. The black foundation makes it easy to find out if your queen is alive and laying well: it is easy to see the small white eggs against the black background, so you don't have to see your queen to know that you have one. It also makes it easier to tell if you have a drone layer. Yellow foundation is more like actual beeswax, and it is quite often more preferred by a lot of our customers.
