5 Frame Cypress Deep 9 5/8-Inch Brood Box

The 5 Frame Cypress Deep Brood Box is built from durable, rot-resistant cypress wood and designed to serve as the main space for the queen to lay eggs and the colony to grow. This box is made to fit standard 5 Frame Beekeeping Kit and offers the same quality and strength as our larger 8- and 10-frame hive bodies. Its solid construction makes it ideal for housing brood and accommodating feeders like baggie, Boardman, or top feeders when needed.

Detailed Description

This deep cypress brood box is a cornerstone of a healthy hive. It is most often used as the main living space for the queen and her brood in 5-frame beekeeping setups. Each box is carefully crafted from smooth, rot-resistant cypress, known for its ability to withstand moisture and harsh weather while lasting for decades, even unpainted.

You can order your brood box unassembled, assembled, or assembled and painted. When assembled, we use Titebond wood glue and staples to ensure a tight, permanent hold. The painted option includes a coat of primer and a layer of UV-resistant white paint to protect the wood from the elements.

While this box can be used on its own for housing feeders such as baggie, Boardman, or top feeders, it is typically used as part of a complete hive setup with frames and foundation. To simplify shipping and ensure a perfect fit, you can order the complete box with frames and foundation from our cypress kit page instead of purchasing the pieces separately.

Our commitment to craftsmanship and materials sets us apart. We choose cypress wood for its superior durability, precision-cut joints for a secure fit, and quality finishes that ensure your hive equipment performs and lasts season after season.
