Why Choose Wax Dipped Bee Hive Kits?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best beehive for a beginner?

The best beehive for a beginner is a 10-frame Langstroth hive. It provides a standard structure, making it easy to manage, expand, and find replacement parts.

Can you put two beehives next to each other?

Yes, you can place two beehives side by side. Bees naturally orient themselves to their own hive. Leaving at least a few inches of space between hives helps with ventilation and reduces drift.

Can I reuse old beehive frames?

Yes, you can reuse old beehive frames if they are in good condition. Check for mold, disease, or wax moth damage before reusing them. If frames are warped or contaminated, replace them.

How long do beehive frames last?

Beehive frames last 5 to 10 years, depending on maintenance and conditions. Rotating out old frames every few seasons helps prevent disease and keeps the hive healthy.
