What grade of lumber are the boxes made from? Pura hive bodies & supers are made from commercial-grade eastern white pine, which allows for some tight knots.
Which size should I get? 10-frame equipment allows for more space for brood and honey production, but weighs more when full. If you struggle to lift a full 10-frame hive body or super, an 8-frame hive may be a good alternative.
Is assembly required? No. This assembled hive body comes ready to go, right out of the box.
How are the joints secured? All Pura hive bodies & supers are glued with specially formulated, fully waterproof Hivebond 4000 wood glue. The interlocked half-blind dovetail joints are then nailed with 12 hot-dipped, galvanized nails for long-lasting security.
What kind of paint is on the box? We use a 12 wet-mil thick latex primer and paint by Sherwin-Williams® Performance Coatings to withstand harsh climates.
Where are Pura hive bodies made? Each hive component is made entirely in our factory in Sioux Falls, SD.

Stronger joints.
Precision-cut dovetails interlock stronger than any other joint. Our half-blind design contains 25% less end grain exposure than standard box joints, reducing the opportunity to rot.
Better frame rest.
An inset frame rest creates a full top joint, so no need to worry about accidentally chipping your box at its corners as you remove a frame for inspection.
Broader handhold.
Tested and approved by commercial beekeepers across America, our extra-wide, deep-grooved handle makes lifting with gloves easy as pie. A gradual taper at the bottom of the handle repels all rainwater.
Tighter wood bonding.
We teamed up with Franklin Adhesives, Inc. to create Hivebond 4000 — a fully waterproof wood glue specific to the pine used in our products. This formula cross-binds with white-pine fibers to create ultimate bonding strength while keeping water out.
More moisture protection.
With the expertise of Sherwin-Williams® Performance Coatings Group, our latex primer and paint is specially formulated for beehives — ensuring prolonged protection from moisture, even in the most severe climates.
