ThxBees 10-Frame Langstroth Deep Brood Hive Box — Cedar, Double Beeswax-Dipped with 10 Frames & Wax Foundations

ThxBees 10-frame Langstroth deep brood box is an unassembled, solid-cedar hive body pre-dipped in beeswax and supplied with ten frames and wax foundations for beginner-friendly brood management.

This complete Langstroth deep hive kit gives you the core component of a standard beehive: a durable 10-frame brood box built to Langstroth dimensions, finished with natural beeswax and fitted with ready-to-use frames and foundations. It ships unassembled with pre-drilled holes and dovetail joinery, so you can put it together quickly and create a weather-resistant brood chamber that matches conventional equipment sizes. The combination of cedar construction and a double beeswax dip offers a balance of longevity, natural scent, and reduced need for external finishes.

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

The box follows standard Langstroth dimensions for a 10-frame deep brood body (approximately 16-1/4" × 19-7/8" × 9-5/8"). That means it stacks and mates with typical Langstroth bottom boards, inner covers, and honey supers without modification. Use it as your main brood chamber or stack multiple bodies for larger colonies.

• Compatible with standard Langstroth hardware and accessories.
• Measures 16-1/4" × 19-7/8" × 9-5/8" for consistent stacking.
• Ten included frames sized to fit standard 10-frame deep boxes.

What materials and construction increase durability?

The hive body is milled from solid cedar, a wood that resists cracking, shrinking, and warping over time, helping maintain hive geometry under changing weather. Dovetail joinery tightens the corners for long-lasting structural integrity, and the double beeswax dip adds a protective, natural coating that reduces the need for paint or synthetic sealants.

• Solid cedar resists warping and dimensional change.
• Dovetail joints create a secure, long-lasting frame connection.
• Double beeswax coating protects wood and provides natural hive scent.

How ready-to-use are the frames and foundations?

• Ten durable frames included at the correct deep-frame size.
• Wax foundations already fitted to promote consistent comb building.
• Frames accept standard foundation replacements or upgrades later.

How easy is assembly and first use?

The body arrives unassembled but is prepared with pre-drilled holes to speed the build — a few tools and common fasteners complete the box. After assembly, place the ten frames inside, lower the box onto a compatible bottom board, and add an inner cover; the beeswax finish means no immediate painting is required.

• Pre-drilled holes simplify alignment and fastening.
• Unassembled for economical shipping but quick to build.
• Ready-to-install frames and wax foundations included.

Who is this for? This ThxBees 10-frame Langstroth deep brood box is aimed at beginning to intermediate beekeepers who want a ready-compatible, natural-wood brood chamber with included frames and wax foundations. It's also a good choice for hobbyists upgrading to dovetail construction or anyone preferring cedar and beeswax finishes to painted alternatives. If you need a standard-sized, durable deep box that integrates with common Langstroth systems and comes mostly ready for use, this kit delivers the essential components.
