10-Frame Langstroth Hive Complete
$105.00

"PICK UP ONLY" at BASF beekeeping meeting, or possibly another location convenient for Denrig.

Fully Assembled, complete with frames with black foundation (waxed), solid bottom board, entrance reducer, hive staples, migratory cover, one deep premium "select grade"* hive body. 

Precision cuts, crisp/smooth hand holds, tight/solid fit.  Suitable for painting... or even staining/varnishing.  A nice hive at a budget hive price.

Compare to other lesser quality hives (commercial or even budget grade) at $119 to $129... and some are unassembled kits.  

Why do your hives look so nice?  Why don't you offer the cheap, budget wood with knot holes?  Did you know that in the overall scheme of things that a complete hive using the premium "select grade"* hive body results in only about $5 more in the overall cost of your complete hive?  Actually I think my complete hive assembled using premium "select grade"* wood for the hive body may even sell for less than many or most of the similar complete, assembled hives you can find elsewhere using budget or commercial grade hive bodies.  Don't be fooled by kits that are not assembled... or require you to assemble the frames and foundations (a pain for most of us.)

*SELECT GRADE = as defined by Mann Lake is their premium grade with the least amount of imperfections allowed. This grade allows small tight knots on the outside of the box and small imperfections on the inside. No knots in the fingers, rabbets or hand holds are allowed. Only the smallest of knots are acceptable (pencil eraser size or smaller) and has to be a tight knot, no black knots at all. No knots of any kind on the fingers or rabbit ear."  This is important when comparing to other's "budget", "economy", and "commercial" grades which are of lower quality.  This wood is great for painting, staining, varnishing, etc.  To me as a backyard beekeeper it is great to have the best and worth the price the small price it adds to you overall hive cost.  A hive of which you can be proud... and should last longer.
