The Starter Kit
(10 Frame)
The joy of beekeeping has been known to delight people of all ages. Beekeeping is a surprisingly easy, hands-on, and satisfying hobby to be involved in. Besides the bees themselves, the only thing a beekeeper needs is a brave heart, a curious mind, and the contents of this Amish-made “Starter Kit”.
The 5 frame option for this beehive is considered ‘Nuc-Ready’. You’ll simply insert the 5 frames of bees that you’ll receive when you purchase your first Nuc. With the 10 frame option, your hive will be ready for a package of bees or a swarm.
See below for details and measurements.

Why Choose Busy Bees ‘N’ More Hives?
In the pursuit of discovering durably crafted Amish-made beehives, Busy Bees ‘N’ More traveled the countryside of Ohio for just the right woodworkers.
Throughout American history, the Amish have built their name to be akin to authentic artisanship. They’ve stood the test of time and passed on their genuine expertise from generation to generation. Now known for their high-quality woodwork, the Amish create meticulously crafted works of art.
In today’s marketplace, you’d be hard-pressed to find products that have the integrity, precision, and long-lasting value that the Amish provide. Instead, you’ll find the market has run rampant with cheap imported products that have been made to sell, not to be used.
These hives are made in the USA from Eastern White Pines that were once sourced for creating log cabins and housing the pioneers of America — the Amish now use it to house your bees. Regionally and responsibly sourced from Michigan and Pennsylvania, we guarantee your new beehive’s lumber has been quality-checked and will be a beautiful showpiece in your yard for years to come.
