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.

Each of these carefully crafted kits from Mann Lake ensures your bees have a safe, durable, and efficient environment to thrive. Whether you’re setting up a new hive or expanding an existing one, these kits provide all the essential elements to support your beekeeping endeavors.
The four main types of beehives are Langstroth, Top-Bar, Warre, and Flow Hives. Langstroth hives are the most common and feature stackable boxes, Top-Bar hives have horizontal bars instead of frames, Warre hives mimic a natural bee habitat, and Flow Hives allow easy honey extraction without disturbing the bees.
You can build a DIY beehive using wooden boxes, frames, and foundation sheets. However, pre-assembled hive kits ensure durability, proper ventilation, and bee safety.
A bee colony can last indefinitely if it is well-maintained, has a healthy queen, and is protected from pests, diseases, and extreme weather.
Italian bees are the best for beginners due to their gentle nature, strong honey production, and adaptability.
