Detailed Description

The 10-Frame Cypress Deep Brood Box (9 5/8") is a standard deep Langstroth hive body most commonly used as brood space, providing ample room for the queen to lay eggs and for the colony to grow. This box is designed to integrate seamlessly with 10-frame beekeeping equipment and kits.

Constructed from durable, 7/8-inch thick cypress boards, this brood box offers natural rot resistance and long service life—even without paint. Cypress is well suited for outdoor hive equipment and has been used by beekeepers for decades due to its longevity and stability.

In addition to holding frames and foundation, this deep box can also be used as spacer space for certain feeder types, including baggie feeders, Boardman feeders, and some top feeders.

Customers may choose from three build options:

• Unassembled, for those who prefer to assemble equipment themselves.
• Assembled, using staples for long-term strength.
• Assembled and Painted, which includes assembly, white primer, and a premium-quality, UV-resistant white exterior paint.

For customers planning to ship frames and foundation with this box, ordering a complete box with frames and foundation included can help reduce overall shipping costs. Boxes with frames and foundation can be selected directly through cypress kit offerings.

We also offer Wax Dipping Wood Preservation Service for assembled boxes only.
