Building a Hive Bottom Board for a 10 Frame Langstroth Hive

Building a Hive Bottom Board for a 10 Frame Langstroth Hive
This video will show you how to build a 10 Frame Langstroth Bee Hive Bottom Board.
Please drop a comment in the comments section if there's something you would like to see.
Some future video ideas that I have of things to make beekeeping related are:
-Oxcalic Acid Vaporizer (Similar to the Provap 110)
-Escape Board (For clearing the Honey Supers for extracting)
-5 Frame Nuc (Both a Dovetail and Staple Methods)
-Top Entrance Shim (Or Oxcalic Acid Treatment Shim (for those of you that don't want to drill the Hive Body or treat through the Entrance))
-Double Screen Board (For placing a weaker colony on top of a stronger colony for overwintering or building Nucs)
As always, please take the proper safety precautions when working with any power tools.

Thanks for the video, love the fact that you muted all of the cutting. Helps when the wife is sleeping, lol.

[@TexasBeekeeper]

Thanks Andy. Haha. I hear ya about the sleeping wife. I try to cut out the loud noises when I remember to. Appreciate you stopping by.

Why did you cut the bottom board piece into two pieces, instead of keeping it just one piece. It would compromise it's overall strength?

[@TexasBeekeeper]

Hello. No matter how I did it, I would have 2 pieces because a 1x12 is 11.25" wide which isn't wide enough for the bottom. I do glue the two pieces together which actually makes a stronger joint. If you wanted one solid piece, you could use plywood, however I just haven't been pleased with the results of plywood. After a while it always seems to warp and delaminate. I hope this answered your question. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great weekeend!

I have to make 50, finally got 18 done, not that fancy, no dados, just plenty of nails and glue, paint the outside with a couple coats of L:OWES mistake paint(any color) and paint the inside with bees wax.

[@TexasBeekeeper]

I hear ya @old dave. I need to make at least 50 of everything for next season (except I haven't gotten started yet, so you're a step ahead of me). Love that mistake paint. I'm not always lucky enough to find it, but when I do, I make sure to snag it up. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great rest of your weekend!
