DIY Long Langstroth Hive Build

[@bza069]

Gonna be honest here. I have NEVER EVER seen anybody work this fast before in my life... I am absolutely in awe at this guy's speed and skill !

I just finished. I like that you rabbeted the ends in to help seal them. I wouldn’t have glued the bottom in case you would want to install a bottom screen or oil for mites. Depending on climate, an insulated gabled roof would be nice - I did that with mine and hinged it. I used a few pieces of scrap and a screw as a pivoting entrance “door”. Rotate it up to open to desired opening amount (90• vertical = fully open) or fully closed when pivoted horizontal. Simple and effective.

This is a great DIY video. Thanks for teaching us how to build one of these long hives!

[@benstone5650]

Great job! I'm not a woodworker but I know a great job when I see one.

[@rigoniironworks]

Clever idea, looks great!

[@Bakersfieldman]

I would make the lid open the opposite side to let the bees keep landing while checking on them from behind

[@ktreznin5538]

Good idea!

Parabéns amigo Deus abençoa sua produção seu trabalho amigo hoje e sempre .goste de ver muito bom amigo Deus abençoa.

[@danielgriffith8911]

This is how fast I think things will go when I start a project... even at .25 speed is too fast for how it really goes!

[@HighLeeCoyote]

Great demo!

[@mariahkoons3994]

Cool video!!

[@revivalwoodworks1272]

Thanks!

[@charlieabbot3649]

The man loses his finger on the table saw at 2:15 and never slows down! Awesome!

[@paultmckay]

I did want to ask if he knows what a riving knife does....there are some great tubers explaining

[@LucasSilva-o6p]

Gostei de ver amigo muito bem feita Deus abençoa seu trabalho amigo.

[@TheRainHarvester]

How did it work out? How many years of success?

[@tammybarrett13]

Nice

[@therenaissancewoman2080]

This was very helpful to watch the process. I took think woodworking is great. I love woodworking so I decided to build my own long langstroth. Do you show making the frames or a follow video?

[@tomchristensen2914]

I'm interested in these and building one or 2. But how do you add supers for collecting honey? Or are these just for reproducing bees and no honey collection

[@jessebennett3221]

Have to use deep frames for honey, the bees usually naturally place brood by the entrance and honey further in. But you can also make a queen excluder to place where you want it.

[@carldaniels4827]

revival woodworks, you have the roof hinged the wrong way. open the roof towards the front so you are NOT in their flight path. THEY WILL STING! making the front legs higher and change the angle to catch and support the hive cover whenever you need to open it. with or without a gabled roof or secure with chains. the langstroth range style is good but a layens style is worth it merely by having longer frames. when they cluster for the winter there's more room for honey stores then langstroth frames. bee's move up not horizontally to get food. thicker wood is the way to go instead of double hive with insulation.

[@beebob1279]

But opening from the back keeps the sun from the beekeeper. It's a double edge sword.

[@rafaelrodrigues2998]

Hi! Would you like to know why the horizontal Langstroth hives have three entrances? I read that the beekeeper can choose one of them to position the brood chamber, and leave the other two closed. Was it just that?

[@foedspaghetti3290]

Don’t you need frames for the honeycombs?

[@DepartmentSupervisor-s2u]

Has anyone ever modified these to use MEDIUM frames instead of deeps?

[@mrswray]

How much did it cost you to build this? My husbands supposed to help me build mine for spring soon 🙂😍

[@Peter-od7op]

Was the wood oak

[@shrevesoule3567]

What is the attachment on your router called that allows to cut the frame rest? Thanks

[@jordanjohnson4912]

I used a 3/4" and 1/2" straight bit on mine

[@sierrabravo7368]

Don't you need to paint it for weather resistance, unless you are making out of Huon Pine

[@revivalwoodworks1272]

Yes it will need a protective finish before going out into the bee yard. I personally don't paint my hives, but rather use a penetrating epoxy and then a spar varnish on the exterior only. I like the natural wood grain and gloss sheen (using left over products from wooden boat restorations).

[@abu.abdullahl3259]

ECHT SCHÖN

[@ronmiller9272]

Added bees? If so, how is it working so far?

[@revivalwoodworks1272]

I plan to make a split from a strong hive that made it through the winter. Going to split them into the Long Langstroth. I will see about making a video of it.

[@stevevorpe5735]

Traduire en Francais.Mercie 😂

[@johnoliver9885]

I would really like to buy your plan for this build.

[@revivalwoodworks1272]

There are free plans out there! You can check out further details of my build here: www.revivalwoods.com/blog/2020/3/29/building-a-long-langstroth-hive

[@unitwoodworking5403]

👍👍

[@richardrbrynerjr.7912]

Entrance is too big! 3/8 inch or the deer mouse will get in and, you know!

[@chriscynefin966]

That router on fast forward sounds like it's screaming

[@cwgoodrich]

I need you as my neighbor.

[@jeanpierrealbertmurat2579]

Elle est bien votre vidéo mes il manque desplication Mercie

[@jayamorao3110]

😮 0:07

[@robertreynolds2524]

Way to keep it short, still showing all you need to know

[@arthurrobey7177]

What? No dovetails?

[@davidsbeefarm6156]

If the grade stamp on that 2x12 has a mill number of 143 on it then I machined it

[@chrismacgregor4699]

What are you doing? What are the measurements? WHO KNOWs!,,,,,,,,

👍🌹

[@Forsaken187]

I'm sure everybody has a workshop like that in their backyard DIY my ass only if you have that level of a Workshop with similar tools SMH show me how to build one with hand tools and I'll be impressed

[@11bravo79]

You can do everything he just did with a skill saw.

[@charleshouseknecht6970]

I wouldn't build another Langstroth hive. There are better designs.
