how heavy is a deep apimaye 10 frame of honey
A deep 10-frame Apimaye box full of honey is usually around 75β80 lb total, with many references putting a full 10-frame deep at about 80 lb. A single deep frame of honey is commonly around 6β7 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 itβs 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 75β80 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.
