This Stoney Acres beehive box is the standard 10-frame deep size that forms the brood chamber of most American Langstroth honeybee hives. The deep dimension provides the vertical space honeybee colonies need to build up brood and store honey through the year, and 10-frame width is the most common American hive size — meaning frames, foundation, queen excluders, and other accessories from any beekeeping supplier will fit this box.
Fully assembled by an Amish beekeeping family in Ohio — pull it out of the box, install your frames, and your hive is ready for a colony. The ‘assembled’ qualifier is the practical detail that distinguishes this from the flat-pack beehive kits most online retailers ship, where new beekeepers spend an unnecessary afternoon figuring out which side goes up before they can even start beekeeping.
For new beekeepers setting up their first hive, established beekeepers expanding a yard, and bee-rescue operations rebuilding after winter losses, this 10-frame deep is the foundational hive component. Pair with a Stoney Acres telescoping cover, candy board, and bee escape board for a complete Amish-made USA hive setup. Lehman’s catalog standard for serious beekeeping households.
