As a starting beekeeper I was in the process of buying all the bits and pieces for a beehive. I wanted something that was going to be durable, useful, and easy to maintain. This fits that bill in a big way. Having an insulated top helps with the heat, and with all the parts being plastic it's easy to keep clean. Start at the top, insulated top, extremely durable and won't blow off with the wind. Next comes the feeders, talk about making it easy! All you do is adjust the gates, and put in either your patty or your syrup. Go to the bottom. Easily attaches to the super, and fits appropriately. The pollen trap is nifty, along with the tray for the pollen keeps it clean. Next comes the hive beetle trap. Coupled with food grade diatomaceous earth it is super easy to trap those suckers and get counts. Same thing for mites. And this stuff will not rot! All you got to do if you need to change it to different super is undo some screws and move it to a new super! Talk about smart! I don't have to replace anything because it won't go bad because it is that durable heavy duty plastic. Some traditionalists don't like new stuff, that's okay you do you I'll do me. Highly highly recommend every time I add a hive I go ahead and drop the coin, ONCE.
