BeeCastle
BeeCastle is a beekeeping equipment brand built around Langstroth hives and the parts that go with them: 8 and 10 frame brood boxes, supers, telescoping covers with metal caps. Boxes use fir or cedar with dovetail joints, and frames come with beeswax coated plastic foundation that needs no wire reinforcement. Some models add acrylic observation panels. The catalog leans on complete starter kits, where a hive arrives with a smoker, frame grip, gloves, brush and around twenty small tools.
The main audience is beginners who would rather buy one package than assemble an order from six suppliers, plus hobbyists adding a second or third hive. Bulk buyers should read the shipping notes first: large orders go by freight, packing takes several days and truck pickup is scheduled separately. Boxes are wax coated, not wax dipped, so paint or extra protection outdoors still pays off.
