The Steadrow 10-Frame Bee Hive Kit is a full-size Langstroth hive: two deep brood boxes, one medium super, and ten frames with foundation per box — ten means ten, no short counts. The woodenware is fir, factory wax-dipped so the boxes shed weather without paint, cut with dovetail joints, and shipped unassembled in a flat pack of roughly 25 to 30 pounds, sized for ordinary parcel delivery to your door.
This is beekeeping equipment only. Steadrow does not sell live bees, packages, nucs, or queens — source your bees from a local supplier — and we do not sell honey or hive treatment products. What we do stand behind is the box itself: full-depth frames, wax coating applied at the factory rather than brushed on later, and joinery that squares up clean when you assemble it.
The kit arrives unassembled — plan an evening with wood glue and a hammer before your bees are due. Most keepers order equipment in late winter so the hive is standing, coated, and aired out well before spring installation. Whether this is your first colony's home or an expansion of the apiary, the configuration is the industry standard: deep boxes for brood below, a medium above for the season's surplus.
