VIVO Black Plastic Beehive Stand for 10 Frame Langstroth Hives, Beekeeping Hive Support Rest with Frame Holder, BEE-HVST

Very easy to put together, sturdy, has two metal arms that can hold frames. Good height, fits 10 frame super. Good value.

Bought two a few years ago and they gave been great. Elevates hives from skunks and makes working the hives easier on the back. Looks nice in the apiary too. Just made my second purchase.

Got from Amazon warehouse, one piece was cracked but I bonded it with epoxy and it's fine, considering it was 1/2 price although no mention of damage in the description.read reviews about hive fit, my hive from Maybee fit in perfectly, but snug so I can see people manhandling it and breaking. Oh well!

This is a good sturdy stand. I have only one complaint. I have a standard ten frame Langstroth style hive but had to cut down the sides of my factory purchased bottom board by 3/8 inch or more to make it fit in the stand. I didn't use one of their Vivo boxes though so maybe that was why.

A tight fit is one thing, but this is ridiculous. It is about 3/8 " too small for a standard 10 frame to fit. Unfortunately, I already disassembled my home made stand to replace it with this. Now I am stuck with this. I should have measured the assembled stand prior to disassembling the hive, but I am an idiot that believes the specifications of products when it is printed on the box. I took the thing apart again just to see if I had somehow assembled it incorrectly. Nope. Only goes together one way.Why are your standards for your product so low that it does not do the one thing it was made to do?Absolute garbage, idk what I expected I was shopping on Amazon.

Easy to assemble a great value, and very sturdy. I have put this product to use and I highly recommend it. Took no time and effort to assemble, and they are ready to go almost instantly.

Simple design. Looks good. Great fit. Easy.

First, I love the stand.Pros:Sturdy, good height, easy to assemble.Cons:Too narrow for a Harvest Lane hive by just over an 1/8th of an inch.I put a 3/16th rabbit in the wood hive base (from Harvest Lane) and it fit fine.Had it fit right out of the box I’d give it a 5. But I’m good as they’re different manufacturers.Update - June 2024. the stand was clipped by the corner of the lawnmower. The leg shattered and dropped the hive with four supers on its side. I don't blame the stand for shattering when hit by a lawnmower (not me, I just had to deal with it) But, caution to anyone putting this somewhere it could happen. My hives are at the edge of a field and large mowed area, there are regularly times with machinery close to the hive, I've switch to cinder blocks. Not as pretty, but they are as prone to break.If your hives are somewhere more protected, you should be just fine.

TOO SMALL. I have a standard 10 frame hive (which this product claims to fit). The lip on the top of the stand makes the platform about 4mm too small. I'll have to trim down the bottom board by 2mm on each side in order to get it to fit.The frame holder looks handy but be aware that it contributes greatly to the structural integrity of the stand, so if you're planning not to use it (not enough space, etc) this may not be the product for you.
