Increase Kit: 10FR Unassem

Get everything you need to start, or add a hive, and save money by doing so! We let you pick what options work best for you while making sure you get everything you will need now, and in the future (honey supers) so that way you don’t have to buy components separately, which cost more.

Curious what we mean by a 10 frame unassembled beehive, or need help in your decision? Read about the differences in options and other hive kits: Beekeeping kit options.

The 10 Frame Increase Hive Kit includes:

• Telescoping outer cover*
• Wooden inner cover
• Wooden entrance reducer
• 2 medium supers*
• 20 medium frames*
• 2 deep hive bodies*
• 20 deep frames*

• Nails for assembly

*Denotes a kit component with options.

Note:

• When choosing plastic frames or plastic foundation, we highly recommend applying extra beeswax to the frames. This increases the acceptance of the frames by the bees and entices them to draw the frames out faster. Assembled frames with extra wax are available for purchase or you can apply the wax yourself (Instructions for Applying Additional Wax).

Why are some unassembled kits more than some assembled kits?

Standard frame components in the unassembled kit are unassembled wood frames, wax foundation and support pins. These are more costly than the frames which come standard in the assembled kit (one piece plastic frames). The best way to compare prices is to select the frame and other options you would like between kits. The price will change automatically as you change options.
