POLLIBEE 10-Frame Langstroth Deep Brood Box — Cedar Dovetail Hive Body, Beeswax-Dipped with 10 Frames & Waxed Foundations

POLLIBEE 10-frame Langstroth deep brood box — a pre-cut cedar hive body dipped in heavy beeswax and supplied with 10 wooden frames and waxed foundations for quick assembly and durable colony housing.

This deep brood box is built from 4/5-inch cedar boards, sized to industry Langstroth standards (16-1/4” x 19-7/8” x 9-5/8”) and finished with a boiled beeswax coating to improve water resistance and longevity. The kit ships unassembled but includes dovetail-cut parts, pre-drilled holes, screws, ten deep frames and waxed foundations so you can set up a functional brood chamber quickly. It’s designed to balance insulation and ventilation while giving the beekeeper a sturdy, traditional brood box that fits standard Langstroth equipment.

How does the wax dip benefit the hive and the bees?

The heavy beeswax coating protects the wood from moisture and reduces weathering while providing a familiar scent that can help colonies accept the equipment. Wax also seals small surface gaps and increases the lifespan of exterior wood exposed to the elements.

• Boiled beeswax finish improves water resistance and slows rot.
• Wax-scented surface encourages quicker colony acceptance.
• Protects dovetail joints and edges from seasonal wear.
• Reduces the frequency of exterior maintenance and resealing.

What materials and dimensions should I expect?

The POLLIBEE brood box is constructed from 4/5-inch cedar boards that offer a balance of thermal insulation and durability. The box matches standard Langstroth deep dimensions so it works interchangeably with existing Langstroth hives and accessories.

• Outer dimensions: 16-1/4” x 19-7/8” x 9-5/8” (standard deep brood size).
• Wood thickness: 4/5-inch cedar for natural resistance to decay and stable insulation.
• Comes with 10 deep wooden frames and waxed foundations ready to install.
• Dovetail joints and pre-drilled holes simplify solid assembly and alignment.

How easy is assembly and setup for this kit?

The box uses dovetail joints and includes pre-drilled holes plus a package of assembly screws to make building straightforward. Frames arrive with waxed foundations, so after assembling the box you only need to insert the frames and place the hive on a stand or bottom board to get started.

• Dovetail joint design for tight, durable corners without excessive carpentry skill.
• Pre-drilled holes reduce assembly time and ensure correct screw placement.
• Included screws and ten frames streamline the first setup session.
• Compatible with standard Langstroth lids, bottoms, and supers for modular expansion.

Will this box suit different climates and bee management styles?

Cedar’s natural insulating properties plus the wax coating give the box good performance across varied conditions, while the standard Langstroth size supports both hobby and small-scale commercial management. The heavy wax coating and solid wood construction are helpful if you plan long-term, low-maintenance equipment rotation.

• Balanced thermal insulation for temperate to variable climates.
• Durable wood and wax finish cut down on seasonal repairs.
• Standard sizing compatible with common management practices and accessories.
• Ten-frame depth accommodates traditional brood rearing and standard frame handling.
