A deep 10-frame Apimaye box full of honey is usually around 75–80 lb total, with many references putting a full 10-frame deep at about 80 lb. A single deep frame of honey is commonly around 6–7 lb of honey, so the full box adds up fast.

What that means

  • Empty box weight: the Apimaye itself adds some weight before any honey is in it, so the real lifted weight is a bit more than the honey alone.
  • Full honey load: expect roughly 60 lb of honey inside the frames, plus the box, frames, and any bees.
  • Practical lift: in the field, many beekeepers treat a full deep 10-frame box as a very heavy lift , especially when it’s near maxed out.

Quick estimate

If you want a simple rule of thumb:

  • Honey only: about 60 lb in a fully packed 10-frame deep.
  • Total box weight: about 75–80 lb once you include the hive body and frames.

Helpful note

Apimaye boxes are insulated plastic equipment, so the exact total can vary a little compared with wooden Langstroth boxes. But for planning a lift, 80 lb is the safe estimate.

TL;DR: a deep Apimaye 10-frame full of honey is roughly 80 lb total.
