The white medium supers arrived quickly and in good shape. They are more expensive that wooden boxes, but my bees do so much better in our hot Texas summers.
The Apimaye hive is the best thing since the Langstroth Hive was developed. It's great quality and I haven't had one bee drown in the feeders. I have been extremely happy with the convenience of having everything in one set up with the ability to move the hives if needed. I have not had to worry about storms blowing off lids ect. There is a lot to say! My only wish is that they would make an option to run all medium frames for us smaller women who really just want to use all medium boxes. It means I would buy more boxes and frames :).
My bees overwintered beautifully in spite of -25F temperatures and strong winds. Sadly a bear decided it wanted a snack in the spring and rolled the hive across the field. Because the whole hive latches together and was built so well, the only damage was to the top cover, where the bear sunk his teeth in trying to get a little snack. Replaced the cover, just like new again. I’ve had bears completely destroy hives in the past. Very pleased with Apimaye hives, and buying more as the budget allows!
