Hi Rob,

Perhaps, I really don't know.  My recollection was that I bought two because
they were close-out cheap ($10?).  When I got them, they were just plain
cheap (vs. close-out cheap).  I remember thinking, "Well, what did you
expect?".  I didn't even bother to assemble them, let alone put in the
effort to put a hive on them.  I think they may even still be in the
original box somewhere, if I could find them.  Again, not worth the effort.

Now, if the Maxant hive is any good and reasonably priced I might consider
it.  I've got two hives on antique farm scales which I acquired last year
and I'm having a great time plotting the weight gains every morning before
coming to work.  Averaging between 4 and 10 pounds a day weight gains the
past week or so.  It's the height of the honey flow in these parts (upstate
NY).

Cheers,
Aaron

Was what you bought a "Hive Monitor" made by a company in Tennessee...
Apparently discountinued over 20 years ago, I see them for sale
on e-bay.
