Our beekeeping kits are designed to provide a comprehensive solution for beekeepers of all levels.
Harvesting honey is one of the most rewarding aspects of beekeeping. Our hives are designed to make honey harvesting easy and efficient. With our patented technology, you can harvest honey directly from the hive, without disturbing the bees. This ensures that your honey is pure and unadulterated, with no blending or processing required. Enjoy the fruits of your labor with minimal effort and maximum satisfaction, knowing that your honey is as natural as it gets.
Mann Lake's wax-dipped hive kits are built to last, offering unmatched durability and protection for your beehive. Each hive body and honey super is crafted in the USA and immersed in a proprietary, bee-friendly wax blend that enhances the longevity of your woodenware.
The wax-dipping process involves heating the wood to high temperatures, effectively sterilizing the hive, driving out moisture, and allowing the protective wax to deeply penetrate the wood. This results in superior weather resistance, significantly extending the hive’s lifespan—up to 25 years in the field.
Beyond its performance benefits, wax dipping also enhances the appearance of the hive, giving it a smooth, natural finish that blends beautifully into any apiary or backyard garden. With Mann Lake's expertly crafted hive kits, you’re not just investing in a high-quality beekeeping setup—you’re ensuring a safe, stable, and long-lasting environment where your bees can thrive.

A bee kit is a collection of beekeeping essentials, often including an assembled hive, frames, foundation, a cover, and a bottom board, making it easier for beginners to start their beekeeping journey.
An apiary is a location where multiple beehives are kept, while a beehive is a single colony's home, where bees store honey, raise brood, and live together as a community.
Italian bees are the best choice for beginners due to their gentle temperament, strong honey production, and adaptability to various climates.
