What Size is Right For Me?

Did you know the only difference in measurements between 10-frame and 8-frame boxes is the width? The 8-frame equipment is narrower than the 10-frame one, and the former is only sometimes compatible with other 8-frame equipment, as dimensions vary slightly by manufacturers. The 10-frame equipment offers more space for brood and honey production.

There are many factors to consider when selecting your frame size; however, it typically comes down to the weight of your hive filled with honey. As a general guide, the approximate weight for an 8-frame box can range from 32 lbs for a shallow box, 40 lbs for a medium box, and 64 lbs for a deep box. On the other hand, the approximate weight for a 10-frame box can range from 40 lbs for a shallow box, 50 lbs for a medium box, and 80 lbs for a deep box.

Pre-Order Details

What’s the benefit? We offer a significant discount to those who pre-order their equipment for the next spring season. We expect you won’t be able to beat our price when you pre-order.

The benefit is that we know exactly how much material we need to purchase and what our workload is for the next few months. This reduces the waste and makes us more efficient. Both equal lower costs, and we pass those savings on to you.

To qualify for the pre-order discount, your order must be placed and paid for by November 15. We plan to ship in mid-February.

We find receiving your new hives in February gives you ample time to prepare for the spring season.
