Just remember that it's mostly the glue that holds the box joints together while the screws, nails or staples mostly just hold the joints stable while the glue finally dries or cures (depends on the exact type of "glue" you use). A little trick - drive staples in on a slightly diagonal orientation to the wood grain to discourage driving two "wedges" in a single line and, possibly, causing splitting of the wood.
I may have to experiment with this. The kits are made out of pine. If it was made out of cedar do you think it might avoid mites and beetles? I watched one of your vids where a swarm went to a cedar limb. So I'm guessing they don't mind the smell of it. Just a thought.
As ruthless as the Varroa mite is, I don't think they'd stay out of any kind of box. My best recommendation is to utilize a beetle towel in each hive to trap the beetles and let the bees do the rest. Worth a shot though! Let us know if it works for you.

Some people like to do it themselves, but still need a little help and instruction. We get asked how to assemble boxes all the time. But you're right, we also offer them pre-assembled to save some hassle if a person doesn't want to "DIY".
