10 Frame Bee Hive Box

Build a strong foundation for your apiary with this 10-Frame Deep Langstroth Brood Box. Crafted from cedarwood and finished with natural beeswax, this hive box combines traditional construction with practical features for new colonies and expanding beekeeping operations.

Designed to accommodate ten deep frames, the box provides space for brood development and comb building. Its standard Langstroth footprint makes it suitable for use with compatible 10-frame hive components, including bottom boards and additional hive boxes.

The cedarwood body features a 100% natural beeswax finish that helps protect the exterior from everyday moisture exposure. The waxed surface offers a natural alternative to painted finishes, allowing you to skip the painting and drying steps typically associated with unfinished hive equipment.

Precision-cut dovetail joints create interlocking corners for a sturdy assembled structure. Factory-prepared connections and predrilled mounting holes help simplify construction using basic hand tools.

The package includes ten unassembled pine frames and ten wax-coated plastic foundation sheets. Together, these components provide a convenient starting point for preparing the brood chamber, although assembly and proper frame installation are required before use.

• Standard 10-Frame Langstroth Design: Measures approximately 16.25"W × 19.88"D × 9.63"H and is designed to work with compatible 10-frame Langstroth hive equipment.

• Cedarwood with Natural Beeswax Finish: Features a cedarwood body dipped in 100% natural beeswax to provide a protective surface without requiring a separate painting step.

• Ten Frames and Foundations Included: Comes with ten unassembled pine frames and ten wax-coated plastic foundation sheets for preparing a complete deep brood chamber.

• Precision-Cut Dovetail Joints: Interlocking corners and predrilled mounting holes support straightforward assembly and help create a stable hive box.

• Deep Brood Chamber Configuration: Provides the depth needed for standard deep frames, offering space for brood rearing and comb development within a compatible Langstroth hive setup.

Whether you're establishing your first colony or adding equipment to an existing apiary, this brood box offers a convenient way to prepare additional hive space. Its familiar Langstroth configuration makes it easier to coordinate with other appropriately sized components.

The included pine frames and wax-coated foundations help streamline hive preparation by providing the essential internal components in one package. Assemble each frame carefully and ensure the foundations are seated securely before placing them inside the box.

The natural beeswax finish eliminates the need for an initial coat of paint, while the cedarwood construction provides a practical material for outdoor hive equipment. Like all wooden hive components, the box should be inspected periodically for wear, moisture damage, and joint condition.

Before installation, verify compatibility with your existing bottom board, cover, feeders, and other hive accessories. Assemble the dovetail joints according to the manufacturer's instructions, check that the box sits level, and confirm that the frames hang and move correctly.

Colony acceptance, comb construction, and brood development depend on factors such as colony strength, season, forage availability, and hive management; a wax coating alone cannot guarantee these outcomes. With its standard dimensions, included frames and foundations, and natural waxed finish, this 10-frame deep brood box provides a practical foundation for building or expanding a Langstroth beehive.
