This listing is intended to add a decorative box layer to your hive. It's not a complete hive, you'll need the base, lid, and frames (and bees!)
"Boxes are \"Commercial Grade\" from Mann Lake, their higher quality model. Here is the quality description from their site: \"Our most popular grade. Tight, solid knots, small pitch pockets and small, tight cracks are acceptable for this grade. Imperfections that interfere with the structure and functionality of the box are not accepted. Black knots larger than a quarter dollar are not acceptable. Fingers and rabbet ears must be free of knots. Knots with cracks going all the way through, as long as the knot is solid are acceptable. Small knots in the hand hold are acceptable, unless in the thin part of hand hold. Black edge knots or planer skips with½\" (1.27 cm) the thickness or less can be missing from the top or bottom of the board.\""
I do a fit-check before engraving, so install should be a breeze. Boxes may have small gaps between them once installed in a hive (I picked the worst pieces from the order for my hive, and had a small gap) but the bees will very quickly fill this in.
As these are personalized and made to order, returns are not accepted.
