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? Yes. We recommend using Hivebond 4000 (or similar waterproof wood glue) and 7D nails to assemble your box.
Where are Pura hive bodies made? Each hive component is made entirely in our factory in Sioux Falls, SD.

Easier assembly.
Interlocking dovetails make assembly easy peasy with their auto-squaring design. 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 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.
