Does anyone have recent experience with the Harvest Lane hive bodies and frames as sold by Tractor Supply? They sell them at my local store but I wanted to check here before buying.
Thanks

That was my starter set. Okay, but not great quality. After my first hive I went on to primarily buy from Mannlake. The Chicken Chick uses their equipment in her bee yard.

I bought some frames and a hive body for a swarm trap a couple of years ago. The frames were alright. The hive body was knotty, cracked, and had a really cheap paint job that should be considered primed and ready to paint. But, they work.

Thank you, both.

As with almost any product the published reviews go from one star (terrible) to 5 stars (perfection).

I have seen them in other similar stores. I was not impressed, but never have bought any myself.

The plastic foundation has no wax on it.
