Why Choose an 8-Frame Hive?
8-frame hives are designed to reduce weight while maintaining efficiency. They are approximately 20% lighter than 10-frame hives, making them easier to handle. A full 10-frame brood box can weigh up to 90 lbs, while medium boxes weigh up to 60 lbs. With an 8-frame hive, you can save your back while still providing ample space for your bees to thrive.
Why Choose Hoover Hives?
• Wax-Coated for Weather Resistance: Each part is dipped in 100% natural beeswax, eliminating the need for painting and offering unmatched durability.
• Premium Fir Wood Construction: Fir wood is stronger and more stable than traditional pine, resisting warping, shrinking, and twisting caused by rain or snow.
• Expert Craftsmanship: Precise dovetail joints ensure perfectly square construction for long-term reliability.
• Natural Aesthetic: The beeswax coating gives the hive a beautiful golden honey finish that blends harmoniously with the environment.
• Industry-Standard Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with other Langstroth 8-frame components.
