STEP 1
Option A: Assembling Without Nails
Aer gathering the tools and package contents, dry fit the 2 side panels and 2
end panels (B1 & B2) together to make a box. Use a hammer and block or rubber
mallet to secure tightly. As the wood can expand and contract with shipping, some
filing may be needed to align the dovetails.
ASSEMBLY STEPS: Hive Boxes
Matching boards
should be across from
one another.
Make sure all 4 handles
are facing out and
towards the top.

STEP 1
Grab an end panel (F1) and put a small dab of wood glue on the top inner notch.
Attach to one end of the wedged top bar (F2). Push down and hold so that it
adheres. Glue the other end panel in the same way and attach it to the opposite
end of the top bar. Wipe away any glue leaking with a paper towel.
ASSEMBLY STEPS: Hive Frames
Place glue
here. Top Bar
End Panel
The wedge comb guide
faces down and the sides
face each other.
STEP 3
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each additional box.
STEP 2
OPTION 2: Assembling With Nails
The super can be nailed together but is not re-
quired. Pre-drill holes in the center of each “leg”
of the pre-cut joint to prevent wood splitting.
Then hammer in one nail (B3) at a time. Check to
make sure box is still aligned every so oen.
Avoid nailing into the very top and very bottom
dovetails as these are only half the width and may
split. If there is a knot in a dovetail, do NOT drill or
nail into the knot.
FOR SHALLOW BOX:
6 nails per Box Corner (24 total)

STEP 2
Insert plastic foundation (F4) into the groove of the top bar.
STEP 3
Put a small dab of wood glue on each ends of the end panel. Attach the bottom
bar (F5) into the final notches of the frame. Push down until the fit is snug.

STEP 5
Place one gray nail (F3) on one end of the bottom bar and hammer into the end
panel. Hammer another nail on the opposite end of the bottom bar in the same
manner. This will ensure that the frame will not pull apart until it is glued in by the
bees with propolis.

ASSEMBLY STEPS: Stack Hive
STEP 1
Now that you have assembled the boxes and frames, place the frames in the
boxes. Push the frames together in the middle. Optional Step: Hammer the
bottom board to the bottom of the deep box using spare nails le in the package
to secure hive when transporting or during heavy winds.

paint the exterior surfaces. Leave the interior untreated. This will protect hive from
weather and ensures longevity of use.
