i received it very quikcly and in good order. Thank you, i've wanted a kenya hive for some time, i may watn more. I love the hive, thank you so much. The bees og in it tomorrow, hopefully they will like it too. It was amazingly simple to assemble. If we decide to expand oru apiary next year, you will be the first place to we look to for. James since i decided to start beekeeping, i have been researching for a way to keep bees in a 100% organic way with minimal start-up expense and minimal stress to the bees. The hives go together easily and quickly. Now, i just have to wait until the bees arrive in april.
