What is the difference between Select and Mill-Run grades? Select grade is the premium choice, consisting of mostly clear lumber and no cracks/defects. Mill-Run grade is the economical choice, consisting of knottier lumber and occasional cracks/defects. With both grades, you can count on full functionality of your box. Learn more about our lumber grades here.
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? Yes. We recommend using Hivebond 4000 (or similar waterproof wood glue) to assemble your box. Nailing or stapling is optional.
Where are Pura hive bodies made? All hive bodies and supers are milled in our factory in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

The best boxes I've ever put together. It only took me 3 hours to assembled 50 Pura hive bodies, which is 3 times faster than a finger-jointed box. Bottom line, this is a superior product! I will be back for more.
- Wayne, Sideline Beekeeper
Hands down the highest quality I’ve seen in woodenware. The dovetail joint makes it a breeze to assemble with a nice tight joint. Extremely satisfied customer.
- Randy, hobbyist beekeeper
Quicker, easier assembly.
Assemble up to 3 times faster than standard finger-jointed boxes with Pura’s self-squaring, interlocking dovetails. Just glue and join with a rubber mallet — No squaring tool needed. Nailing or stapling is optional, but not necessary.
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 potential for 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.
