DIY Quilt Boxes for Beehives: Keeping Bees Cozy All Winter!

what size is your shim/furring strip?

It's 1/4 inch. I rip them down with my table saw because it's less expensive than buying from a lumber yard or big box like Lowes or Home Depot.

@@sweetsadiehoney 1/4 seems way to thin based on the video? I am talking about the smaller/thinner pieces to hold the muslin down then the same pieces to hold down the screen. That looks a lot like 3/4 wide x 1/2 thick? White or Yellow pine or something else? Just checking. thanks

@@kzem968 In the video, they are 1/2 thick. I've actually been ripping them down a little thinner than that to lessen the chance of them building comb in between. I use 1/4 inch on my candy boards.
