Same as our full hive kit minus the 2 medium honey supers. Hand-made pine hive kits at a price for less than what commercial producers sell them for! These same kits are $100 more through the majority of commercial sales places.  We use a combination of outdoor wood glue and oversized deep staples on every finger of the joint for a tight, strong, long lasting hive box! Our frames are Acorn brand, one of the best frame producers with quality wax coatings. And when you buy from us, you are talking to the people who actually made the product. Not a middle person who shrugs their shoulders and tells you to contact the manufacturer.

Contents of the kit:
2 pine deeps
1 internal division board feeder (with cap and ladders) 
1 inner cover
1 telescoping cover
1 entrance reducer
1 solid bottom board 
20 deep wax coated frames

**Special**
We have the ability to do custom engraving with our CNC machine. Please contact us wth your ideas for an estimate (Russianbeeguy@gmail.com). Just to get an idea of cost; engraving the front of a deep hive box would probably run $75 to $100 depending on depth and complexity of your custom design. If you have your own art, please submit it as a 300 dpi jpg grey scale file at the size you are thinking of wanting it. Submitting your own art as close to the finished product you actually want will save you on design time and make your custom box much more affordable, but we can also design things up from scratch based on an idea you have.
