    This beehive kit has everything (except the bees) to get you started on your beekeeping adventures. We've added a Varroa screen for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and a 3 gallon hive top feeder.

    When choosing plastic frames or plastic foundation, we highly recommend applying additional beeswax to the foundations. This increases the acceptance of the frames by the bees and entices them to draw them out faster. Assembled frames with additional wax already applied are available for purchase or you can buy beeswax and paint it on yourself (melt it in a double boiler and use a foam paintbrush).
