Probably the best build I've seen on this style of hive. Practical, functional, and doesn't require the craziest of tools. I appreciate you making this video!

AWESOME! I would have taken snips and rounded the corners. Also would have recessed the bottom or used screws instead of brads. I will do one like this but may arch/dome the top. I didn't see any entrances made.

Very nice design, I am getting ready to build my own and will rely on your design. Saved to my library for future reference.

Been a keeper for over 10 years and CAN'T believe how much eqpt has increased in price! I also have a sawmill now. Holy cow am I going to build one or two of those!! Just need a day stretcher to find the time to build one. Still trying to figure that one out. That'll be on the market just after they invent a board stretcher. 2x lumber with paint should last dang near forever with paint. Just replace the legs if they rot with ground contact.

Great video with interesting design variations on a common theme. I will follow your channel and look forward to hearing how your hive works in practice, pros & cons . It would seem many bee keepers are searching for the holy grail of horizon hives. Cheers from 🇦🇺

You have had time to use it this year. I hope it worked well for you. I had a question that I am asking everyone who is building these. My question is, how do you clean the bottom board?
@honeydewacres2371 Жыл бұрын
The big test won’t happen until spring here. Once the hive makes it through the winter. We will have losses all winter long, and it will need to be cleaned out. My plan right now is to shift frames over to one side and then just vacuum out or use a dustpan to to pull out debris.

Northwest Wisconsin. We could make one for sale but it would need to be pickup only, no shipping.

Just to say, why not drill the holes before you screw them together and you will never split the wood.
