MayBee 10-Frame Langstroth Deep Brood Box — Cedar Wax-Dipped Hive Body with 10 Frames & Waxed Foundations

MayBee’s 10-frame Langstroth deep brood box is a wax-dipped, cedarwood hive body supplied unassembled with 10 pine frames and 10 wax-coated plastic foundations for durable, standard-compatible beekeeping.

This brood box is built to industry-standard Langstroth dimensions and finished with a thick coat of natural beeswax to protect the wood and discourage warping. The kit arrives unassembled so you can inspect joints and fit as you build; it includes dovetail-joined cedar components plus premium pine frames and black food-grade plastic foundations that have been dipped in beeswax. Designed to integrate with existing Langstroth systems, the unit balances durability, brood rearing space and straightforward assembly for hobbyists or small-scale commercial operations.

How does this deep brood box fit into a standard Langstroth setup?

The box is manufactured to match standard Langstroth inside dimensions so it stacks and aligns with other Langstroth bodies, supers, and accessories. Dovetail joints and uniform rabbet edges help maintain alignment and a snug fit when installed on existing equipment.

• Standardized internal measurements for seamless stacking
• Dovetail joinery for long-lasting structural integrity
• Compatible with standard inner covers, queen excluders and outer covers
• Unassembled panels allow you to verify fit and finish before use

What materials and treatments protect the hive from weather and wear?

Exterior parts are crafted from cedarwood, a naturally rot-resistant species, and every surface is coated in a heavy layer of natural beeswax for added moisture resistance and to reduce splitting. The wax dipping helps shed light rain and slows the wood’s exposure to humidity cycles without relying on synthetic sealants.

• Cedar exterior parts for greater durability and reduced warping
• Thick beeswax coating applied to all external surfaces
• Food-grade black plastic foundations dipped in wax for brood acceptance
• Pine frames machined for consistent fit and straightness

What comes in the box and how easy is assembly?

The package contains one deep brood box body cut from cedar, ten unassembled dovetail pine frames, and ten black food-grade plastic foundation sheets already dipped in beeswax. Assembly is typical for unassembled hive kits: align dovetail joints, glue or pin where desired, and place frames on the internal rabbets. No specialty tools are required beyond common woodworking hand tools or a cordless drill if you prefer faster assembly.

• One Langstroth deep brood box body with dovetail joinery
• Ten pine frames—unassembled—for custom finishing or staining
• Ten wax-dipped black plastic foundation sheets to go inside frames
• Simple assembly suitable for first-time builders or experienced beekeepers
