Langstroth 8 Frame 2 Box Hive

Why Langstroth Hives?

The Langstroth has been the most popular type of beehive for hundreds of years, largely based on its standardized dimensions, significant expansion capabilities, and as the first hive design to reflect “bee space”.

PerfectBee hives are proven over many years, with their high-quality components, made here in the US. Our three editions allow you to quickly find the right choice for your bee yard and your budget.

Unassembled or Assembled

We offer a choice of unassembled or assembled hives, for the boxes/supers. The final, installed hive is exactly the same but unassembled boxes are a little lower cost and also save on shipping. For those looking for a little less effort on delivery, we offer fully assembled boxes as an option too.
