Golden Palace Bee Hive, Beehive with 7pcs Auto Super Frames, Bee House with 1pcs Super Boxes, 1pcs Brood Boxes(No Brood Frames), Bee Hives Starter Beekeeping Kits

We bought one of these awhile back. Did a ton of research about types of paint that are acceptable. Made it a family event by painting each of our own hands and covering the hive (first picture top is backwards but is fixed now)We took quite a process to try and get the bees to accept the hive. It was recommended to leave them in the NUC the first few days while they get comfortable with the new environment. Then move a few frames over to the hive in the next week and wait to see if they accept… looks like they accepted. I then gave them a couple more weeks before adding the top of the hive.Updated 6/25/25The bees did start using the top plastic combs. They aren’t full yet but I can see them slowly working up top! Whoop!!I can say it’s definitely worth it so far if you have the time and patience.Heads up- the directions aren’t fantastic. If you think something won’t fit together make sure you have it going the right direction. We experienced that issue and I saw another review complaining that it didn’t fit but I can see in his picture he also has it facing the wrong direction.

The media could not be loaded. My dad had honey bees his whole life. He passed away in April 3 25 he was 83 years old so I ended up with 30 hives he had I never knew a whole lot about bees I always ask him. Why didn’t he get a flow hive but he was an old timer and didn’t believe in stuff like that. He down at the old way, which that’s fine. I always wanted one so I’ve had this one about five weeks and I think it’s done awesome just wanted to share this.

The bee hive comes in 2 separate packages. Assembly is fairly easy with the aid of the video from the Amazon site.The brood box does not come with frames which is needed to start the hive.There is lots of information for bee keeping online to help you get going.Fast delivery, packaged well.

I hade a problem with one of the flow cells and had no support with a replacement or repair so the bees get that honey. I will not bye anymore for this saler.

Easy to assemble. Seems durable, can't wait to get the bees inside

Very good with communication also ended up with my package 3 days sooner 😁 very easy to put together video helped a lot.. Definitely gonna be buying another

6 month review - TLDR - I HIGHLY recommend that you spend your money elsewhere on either genuine flows or a new set of super boxes. - assembled picture from November 22 - window picture from yesterdayPurchased two of these "Golden Palace" hives back in November 2022 - they assembled ok but the instructions were lacking at best.There was also a strong chemical smell from whatever they coated the wood in. 6 months later the smell has gone.2 stars awarded for assembly and craftsmanship because overall they did provide a wooden box.1 star for value for money.The "flow" frames themselves operate as they should mechanically, however the Bees do not like them,they will not build wax on them nor fill them with honey.In the last 6 months we have tried several fixes to get them to accept the "golden palace" we have tried with and without the Q excluder, moved the two flow boxes to 6 different honey producing hives around the apiary as well as spending a full day adding my own wax to the frames and every single time the bees will not accept, work them nor add any honey.this coming weekend we will harvest 28 super boxes of honey from 30 hives this weekend, with the only non-producers being the two hives with the golden palace on them.not only have I lost money purchasing these boxes they have cost me ~80lbs of honey from the spring harvest.If the Bees will not work the frames and fill them with honey then they are just useless boxes that the bees will use as a hang out space.I HIGHLY recommend that you spend your money elsewhere on either genuine flows or a new set of super boxes.

Nice hive easy to put to together
