Our woodenware is manufactured from hand selected Ponderosa pine. Each board has been carefully moisture-metered to assure its proper moisture content before it is precision milled into the finished product.

• Handholds are taper cut for easy gripping
• Moisture Metered before cutting to prevent warping
• Uniform Interlocking Joints for strength
• Ponderosa Pine from the Northwest, the best wood for the job
• Uniform Frame Rests provides the proper Bee Space
• Nails not included, not assembled.

Select: A grade that is truly selected which allows only very small tight knots and no deviations in the joints, rabbets, or hand holds.

Commercial: The most widely used by commercial beekeepers. Tight knots are allowed where they occur except in the Joint and Rabbet.

Economy: The same precise fit as the other two grades but it is a lower wood quality. Does not pass quality standards for select or commercial grades but it is a good serviceable box. Layer knots and knots with crack or splits are allowed.
