Hive Stands

[@richardweir9756]

You are great teacher, you instructions are very well explained. Thank you for your help as I wish to get my first hive this year 2024 in July. Thanks again regards Richard Weir from down under in Aus

You have so many great videos - you are very wise and are a blessing to beekeepers on a budget, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@reedcooper1138]

I like your explanation for making the parts as you go along, it helps make sense in the design.

Just watched your whole series on making a bee hive. Ty for sharing your knowledge.

I use your measurements for the screen bottom board and your measurements were right on.......thanks

[@michaelleighton6915]

Thank you. I really appreciate your work.

[@robertveronda4225]

Great video! Question regarding the PDF information on this. Should the back board be 16 1/4 instead of 15 1/2 inches? Especially if you rebate the end by 3/4 inch on each side of it. That would make the back measure 15 1/2. Or did I miss read the distruction?!

thank you for your video

I'm just getting into beekeeping and I can't make sense of a lot of the equipment. Why use latex paint? That's the least protective paint I know of. People use it on house siding because siding doesn't get much water on it. Also, why use this when you could build a pvc pipe stand, like the bkcorner one?

[@edsantana2868]

So where are the plans located?

[@adrianbass48813]

Go to www.michiganbees.org and search for "workshop". The plans are under the "Beekeeping" tab. Enjoy.

Hi Steve; Is it a crazy idea to combine your plans for the screened bottom board and the hive stand, and create a higher screened bottom board with a 45-degree landing pad? I have a full-fledged hive stand already, so I don't feel I need a stand-alone hive stand, or anything in addition to the bottom board except for the cool landing pad. I suppose there is a question of how complicated or expensive the replacement work will be in a few years. But what else am I missing? Thanks! I love your videos! Steve in Pisgah

You could certainly do this, though bees really don't need a slanted landing board. They can handle the horizontal landing platform in front of the bottom board just fine. This is one of the advantages of building your own; you can play around with novel ideas.
