[@Beekeeper_of_All_Trades]

fantastic demonstration, especially at the end where you show pictures of details measurements. thank you

Great design for Canadian colonies. Thanks for taking the time to share your design. Would love to see your styro sleeve wintering design, too.

Alberta beekeeper as well. Great design! Thanks for taking the time to share. I've run winters with open screen bottoms. I will definitely try this. Thanks again

[@kurtlanford1448]

Great job , thanks for sharing this ! I’m not sure I could take the cold temperatures !

[@tonyvanoostrom3501]

Very nice design. Thanks for sharing!

This came up in my feed. Probably because i just posted a similar video. There are some similarities. I like those runners on the bottom. You could make them double width and run these as a two-way pallet. I am working on a screened two-way pallet and you have definitely given me some ideas.

Thanks so much for your efforts, I used this and it works great. Best wishes!!!

9:45 What was the purpose of drilling the two hold in the frames, other than as an experiment? Are the holes there to let the bees travel between frames more efficiently?

Nice video I’m going to build one see if I like it. Thanks for sharing

[@markarnill3437]

Brilliant idea will definitely be making some for my hives. 👍👍👍

[@markwaring622]

Loved it no measurement needed just size to your box. I love it great desine. Doesn't the oil run off if hives are tilted??

[@kjb3072]

Yes, wery smart use of 2X4:)

[@brianjensen5694]

What do the holes in the upper part of the frames accomplish?

[@TheRainHarvester]

Will the handle catch rain ?

[@gmwani7280]

very good idea

[@NevadaBeeMan-nq3po]

Can you show us how you insulate the outside of the boxes? I too live in a very cold climate

[@sheldonferrell]

Thank you

I live in Boston, MA area. I have my first bee hive. Do you think I should be keeping a 2-inch Starafoam on my bottom board? My second question is when you slide in the whiteboard handle stick outside. Does that create a problem with rain? I would stain the bottom board but I am afraid stain is bad for the bees. What do you think of that? Thank you so much. I really enjoyed the video.

[@edm719]

Can you please post all the measurements :)

[@baldeagleApiaries]

3/4s or 3/8 ths. on the channel cut?

[@TheRainHarvester]

Do you think a wire landing board would help bees defend from beetles? (I'm thinking the SHB can't hover to enter and would fall through a wire landing board, but bees loaded with nectar could land and get in.) I made a ant proof metal stand from trampoline parts on my channel...I'm learning!

[@GURALEJ]

OK. Poland

Oxalic acid eats screened bottom boards.

Left out the mesh size for the screen. Thumbs down. Useless video

[@sethfyou4750]

yea that thumbs down really showed him! moron

@@wrongfullyaccused7139 you can easily find what size mesh to use moron, he gave plenty of info.
