If you are a beginner beekeeper, one hive box will be last you approximately 4-6 weeks after you place 4-5 frames of bees in it from a NUC (nucleus colony).
If you get your bees in May, you will most likely need 3 boxes to get you through the summer: 2 deep boxes (brood) and one medium box (honey).

*It is recommended that you paint the exterior of your boxes before placing the bees in them.
