Our neighbors are professional bee keepers and have acres of lavender just for the bees. This will benefit MY bees as well, learning with and using the VEVOR Starter Kit for my very first hive. Under the guidance of the pretty good instructions which come with the kit, I was able to assemble this hive in about 30 minutes. All the pieces were cut correctly and fit together as intended. Because the hive is wax coated, it should be readily acceptable to the bees once they are introduced when the weather gets warmer. Excited to get started with this deluxe 10 frame kit! Recommend this solid, beeswax coated hive starter kit.
