Deep Hive Body 8FR Assembled

Deep beehive bodies traditionally serve as brood chambers, the boxes placed above the bottom board that remain on the hives year-round where brood is produced. This box is assembled and fits 8 deep frames which are 9-1/8 inches tall.

Select Grade Wood vs. Commercial Grade Wood:

This refers to the grade of wood used to make your woodenware. You have a choice of Select (possessing only the occasional small knot) and Commercial (which will possess a greater number of solid knots). If you are painting your woodenware, Commercial grade is the typical choice. If you are varnishing your wood, Select is a great option.

3/4 inch or 7/8 inch Wall Thickness:

Our 3/4 inch boxes are the most common sizing and offer a cost savings. The 7/8 inch boxes offer a heavier wall thickness. 7/8 inch is the traditional wall thickness that Betterbee has carried for many years. Both sizes fit all our wooden hive components and are compatible with each other.
