BEEKEEPING EQUIPMENT - Vevor Beehive Kit & Thermal Imaging Camera

Hello, i’ve been enjoying your beekeeping videos. Just a comment about the wax dipping of wood hives. Hot dipping woodenware is very different from putting wax on the wooden surface. Hot dipping uses paraffin wax and microcrystalline wax at very high temperature (over 320° F) to literally boil any moisture out of the wood and replace that moisture with wax inside the structure of the wood. Properly dipped woodenware will be dry to the touch and not waxy on the surface. This type of hot wax dipping is superior to a painted surface and will last many years if not decades without any additional treatment.

Thank you for that information! That explains a lot.

Beautiful looking wood. I might order a deep to make cutting boards!!

I have this exact set. Seems well made, a bit challenging to get together first time. But if you have assembled a hive before, no problem. Some of the joints were not exact but acceptable. For the price it is fine for sure. Get the one without windows if it's available.

I'm sure your move from Hawaii has been challenging. (Cold, no more shave ice, leaving your bees behind, etc.). But the move to eastern Pennsylvania puts your environmental conditions so much closer to most of your followers. Now we can learn from what you do as well as when you do it - for weather reasons.

Hi, I recently bought a box of bees this past summer from a lovely gentleman in Binghamton, NY. He even had hive certification.I'm not sure if you have a place you plan to buy from, but he sold me a 10-frame loaded with a colony. He also set me up with a few extra frames of honey for them. He is an excellent beekeeper. If you would like his info, let me know. PS I love watching your videos they have really helped me understand what my bees were up to.

A good honest review. Thanks for sharing

Looks like strong long-lasting beeswax dipped cedar wood equipment. A hardy Langstroth beehive is an easy to handle way to go about starting a new honeybee colony and a great hobby to get into. Thanks for the clear commentary.

Hope everything works out well for u in this new chapter of your life. I look forward from more videos to come. God Bless and have a wonderful Christmas

I've found that the China made hives available seemingly come from the same place and are marketed by several vendors. I could be wrong.

Was the nails long enough?
