ONE BOARD BUILD. Quick and Easy $8 Dollar Hive Stand

[@apveening]

That piece of scrap you were going to throw in the fire place can be cut into four pieces that can be screwed under the legs as feet, adding a bit more surface, preventing the legs from sinking in loose sand and the like.

Great idea. Good news is I haven't burned it yet :-). Thank you.

My OCD kicking in... how about router out a oil moat in the scrap piece, attach to the bottom of the legs to help fight off the ants. I found that olive oil works the best.

I still have the one I made from watching your older video. Works Great I love it!❤🐝

[@BugFarmerBees]

Awesome! I want to see your snowy bee yard buddy! Get crackin on that video :-)

[@BlanchardsBees]

[@KajunHomestead]

👍👍👍

[@BugFarmerBees]

Excellent. May you build many cheap hive stands :-)

[@CastleHives]

I do the same. I have each colony on its own stand. Very easy to work a colony with these.

[@BugFarmerBees]

easier to film :-)

[@CastleHives]

@BugFarmerBees so true. .

[@apveening]

Did you turn the wood over and mark it again in such a way that you did cut through the knot? Seemed to me you did and the cut leg seemed to show a knot in the right place for that.

[@BugFarmerBees]

There were two knots in that wood but only one went through my cut line. I avoided both knots in the cut :-)

I have some 2x8x8 laying around. what would you change in your design for that size wood?

[@BugFarmerBees]

A store bought 2x6x8 is actually 1.5"x5.5"x8' so you could actually just rip the board down to 5.5" wide and follow along as if you had a store bought 2x6x8. :-)
