Detailed Description

This 8-frame cypress deep brood box is designed to work with standard Langstroth beekeeping equipment and provides essential space for the queen to lay eggs. It forms the foundation of the hive’s brood area, giving bees the environment they need to raise the next generation.

Each box is made from 7/8-inch thick cypress boards, known for their natural resistance to rot and moisture. The smooth finish ensures easy handling and stacking with other hive boxes. You can purchase your box unassembled, assembled, or assembled and painted.

When you choose the assembled option, your brood box is built using staples, providing exceptional durability. The painted option includes a primer coat followed by a layer of UV-resistant white paint, offering extra protection against the elements.

While this box can be used empty to house feeders such as baggie, Boardman, or top feeders, it is typically used with frames and foundations. To save on shipping and ensure compatibility, you can order the complete box with frames and foundation from our cypress kit page instead of purchasing pieces separately.

At Foxhound Bee Company, we take pride in crafting equipment that meets the needs of both new and experienced beekeepers. Our cypress hive components are built to last, ensuring reliability and ease of use in every apiary.

We also offer Wax Dipping Wood Preservation Service for assembled boxes only.
