Wow calipers what you built is great. As a journeyman machinist, it's a wood box! I built some 20 plus yrs ago 10 minutes each box still have. All with hand tools tape measure. Miter box. Nails too. I luv the video reminded me when I had to machine round spear for NASA using sine plates Joe blocks and mikes. That took me 2 months. 2 people round the clock.

[@rick91443]

F A N T A S T I C....now I'm going to slow it all down and start again. Just came home with the wood from lumber yard...GREAT VIDEO. Thanks again...rr

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you for the nice words

[@nikospanos1552]

Impressive the meticulous work you did on the frames. Congrats.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

+Niko Spanos σε ευχαριστώ πολύ. Έμαθα πολλά και από τα video σου. Ειδικά στο για το πώς δίπλωσες το λαμαρινένιο καπάκι. Σου έβαλα και λινκ sστην περιγραφή του video. Ευχαριστώ

[@silvermaple7779]

Wow that was a LOT of work! Well done sir.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

+Silver Maple Indeed it was, But I learned so many new things in the process! :)

[@FSWoodworking]

Very nice project. I enjoyed every step.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

nice work i'm huge fan of your work and your musical instruments

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you very much

[@jamesgoodwin2450]

Forget my previous comment on video A much better use of the table saw here hahaha loving your work

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@Mauroiltornitore]

Thanks for sharing, great work!! Cheers. Mauro

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Looking great! :D nice detail the steel net behind the handles so the bees don't bother you while grabbing the whole thing :P

[@ScrapwoodCity]

+Cactus! workshop thanks man. Those are actually ventilation holes. The handle is the one under the latch!

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

+Scrap wood City right! sorry :D waiting for part C!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

+Cactus! workshop lol, no part C coming. At this point I will give it to the beekeeper to finish it with linseed oil and paint. I do hope I will make a video with actual bees on the field. Just to see how the hive managed on the field. But that will be perhaps next year.

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

+Scrap wood City yeahhh you should! but it seems i'm not right on anything today haha. Anyway great work and waiting for part bee :P

[@tonythechevron115]

fucksake, I thought this would be easy, this guy has some mad skills. thanks for making this vid

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you very much. It can be done much simpler I guess! It was a very interesting project for me, I learned many things!

[@sarahcooper4123]

Good job! The only thing I would add is to make the top cover sides to overlap the top super to protect from wind and rain.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

The bees will seal any gaps with propolis!

[@mihumus]

I like your multifunction caliber. Great work man, I'll be waiting for the part C. :)

[@mitchwoodwork]

Great build

[@ScrapwoodCity]

+Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD thank you

[@arkas6797]

How many millimeters thick and long are the screws of the cell body assembly? Thanks for the help.

[@milomirzivkovic5286]

Jednostavno... Sve je ranije smišljeno , nema potrebe mjenjati dimenzije...Pokrivanje krova limom nije dobro, ne treba tablu lima na uglovima izrezivati , već odmah izvršiti savijanje ,tako da se dobije potpuna nepromočivost krova. lim je na uglovim potrebno učvrstiti samo sa jednim zakivanjem, tako se sprečava podlivanje i bolja zaštitaod kiše i krova i košnice..

[@edwin7126]

I wish there was a bit more on the frames i've seen a couple of different ones but the top piece is important , the shape of it i'd like to have seen a little more detail for that and what is the screen for it's on the bottom so i assume it's for air ,yes i'm new.

[@jlinkels]

Shouldn't there be something like a queen bee excluder?

[@sivatharshan]

lots of work and genuine!!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

nice job buddy!

[@MohammedAslamtit-bitsoflife]

WOW I WANTED TO KEEP ON WATCHING...AWESOME WORK...JUST PROFESSIONAL TOUCH. WOULD LIKE TO MORE SYMPHONY. ... WITH MY BEST REGARDS.

[@kmmining1359]

Scrap wood city: I am truly amazed at your attention to detail and build quality. Why so many mortice & tenon joints? cannot just corner lap or butt with glue and screw? Would you make another deep and frames to go on top of that hive or leave it as it is for first season? If I ever need a set of 6 new hives plus additional deeps, I know where to come now for a premium quality build ;)

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you. When the hive is full of honey and wax and the beekeeper has to lift it up to move it around, you need to have really strong joints. Also the hive spends the entire year outside having to deal with rain, winds and sunlight. So the stronger definitely the better!

[@julial7019]

Pleasantly surprised to see how much you are able to do with a tablesaw, bandsaw and a few jigs. Great job. That handle jig is really cool. Any suggestions for making V-shape top bars - safely? I'm trying to make them with a "long & deep" V. The bees build better and straight comb. This would be for a top bar hive. Like your finger jointing - great job! Will watch this again and try to duplicate. I've build a double-walled top bar hive that I can slip solid insulation board between come winter. I've also built a Lazutin extra-deep hive (golden hive) with 18" deep frames - 19" long. Lot of honey.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thanks very much for watching. It was a pretty challenging build for me. I've seen a video on making a top bar hive in "Jon Peters Art & home" channel. Good luck with your build! :)

[@thealicemonster9217]

I love your henge work there.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@nicolasmarquez3528]

uuuff. súper nice job 100 /. good 👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@villeheinonen1644]

Nice videos! But how would you make a queen excluder if you had to make it yourself?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Don't know, I am not a beekeeper myself

[@aloLANTERA]

I love this Video, inspiring

[@rubin24i]

And if you need to create 100 frames or 1000 how many in your opinion it will take time! The robot is good, akuratnaya, but you can do this when one or two beehives! But if the apiary is 10, 20, 50 or more, you will not look so much at the place !!! Laik for your hard work! Good luck to you

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thanks, yes it is better to buy them if they are too many! I just want it to build one because it makes an interesting project!

[@КРЕАТИВНЫЕИДЕИПЧЕЛОВОДА]

[@МодистБорзин-й6ф]

[@simoprdev3517]

the only problem is at the end 9:30, now the lock impedes the lifting. doing it on the other side would be better

[@ScrapwoodCity]

It actually helps the way I did it when transporting lots of hives

[@oxennguyen3148]

Sir, how many bee hive can you built in one day? I order me some bee hive for the new hobby . Thanks you for building them.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

In one day I think none. But if you want to make many you can organize the builds my making several similar parts together.

[@rRobertSmith]

Caribbean blue would be better for a sound track...you have made skills and lots of tools bro...what about the rest of us?

[@hilalahmad5739]

Why u didn't shows bottom board and why u put two holes at the top and is it necessary to put holes, how much sides.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

The bottom is on the part A video. The top he’s are for ventilation

[@freshpootube]

Why put screws in a box joint?

[@mrsseasea]

Wow very nice!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@denniskromann5432]

great job

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you

[@bocquetphilippefifou8334]

the job of professional bravo

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Great video Dimitris. Those bars look like they took quite a while to make! Is the hive operational yet?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

+Robin Lewis thanks man. At this point I will deliver the hive to the beekeeper. He will apply a few coats of linseed oil and paint it. He will also add wire and wax sheets to the frames and then it will be operational. My part is over. It was a lot of work.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Well it came out great so I hope it works well for the bees

[@joaovictorcampos9392]

You should consider finding some instrumental background that's longer than 25 seconds, the looping is very annoying.

[@mrsseasea]

Well many come to see the video........if it music you want ........there is always MTV!

[@joaovictorcampos9392]

Sure, because the sound is not a part of the video.

[@MarkMcCluney]

Nice job mate! Love that wee animation at the end. How are you separating the brood chamber from the super? Just plywood? Couldn't quite make it out. Can I have a bit of honey next year!?

[@josephtries3150]

Wish I had your skills. Did you like go to training or something to learn all this (referring to the carpentry skill)? Or did you learn this all by yourself? Also, how long did it take to make the beehive?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I watch many youtube woodworking videos and I practice on projects. The beehive took me a couple of months, because I did not have all the tools I needed and also I had to make some research on beehive making techniques!

[@josephtries3150]

That's amazing. I'm hoping to do the same thing. Thanks for your vids

[@haseebsheikh1644]

dont you use beewax for frames

[@bwakel310]

From someone who has zero experience...Why dovetail when you use screws?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

You can use just screws. But having the box joints you get additional strength and life on your hive. The beekeeper may has to lift a hive full of honey a few times a year. So you need as much strength as you can.

[@eieio-mn9pm]

bwakel310 you ever see a bee hive without the corner joints ?....it's not a dovetail by the way

[@johnabruzzi4124]

i wonder if the ant will be attracted and it will disturb the bee and their honey?where is the best place to put the beehive box?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

As far as I know the bees protect themselves from invaders. They also cover the dead bodies with propolis to protect the hive from diseases.

[@nicasanderson5225]

what a good answer.

[@eieio-mn9pm]

Scrap wood City I'm a guessing you ha e seen more bee videos on u tube in the last year ...good job on the hive for the first one ...I've got two ordered $375 for two bottoms two supers and all the frames ...each

[@uhavemooface]

How many days did this take you to build? Sense you have two parts for this build.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

It actually took me a few months to figure out all the things needed! I also had to buy a few tools I didn't have at the time! I guess if you have all the tools and know how it can be ready in a week or so!

[@jonathanluizdeandrade9198]

o efeito de montagem automatico ficou muito legal seria legal aprender como faz

[@cenyddsmith1009]

I was wondering why you left the top ventilation holes open, then I noticed this vid!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

You need good ventilation

[@cenyddsmith1009]

I realise that, but the mesh only went on in the second video 😁

[@dmeads5663]

I'm just gonna throw together some scrap wood and call it a hive

[@dresonbadiana3358]

This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "how to build a beehive super" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Tiyia Beehive Basophilic - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy got great success with it.

[@margem4754]

very impressive!

[@adamrummer5342]

This is great! i assume you'll be making more supers to put on top?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thanks. Nop, I just made this one hive for a friend and for the learning experience. I think when the population grows the beekeepr will add other floors on top!

Won't that metal top get very hot in the sun?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

+Neko Miruku to tell you the truth I do not know. That's how the beekeeper wanted it and most of the beehives I studied are made this way. You need that sheet to protect the hive from the rain!

Seriously. 12 bars aint that great

[@robertzack3553]

hive lids are called telescopic covers as they overlap the hive body to keep out water. your lid would not be water tight. you have no inner cover. frames cost .80 & are not worth the time it takes to make them. latches are not needed either. your woodworking is good but the design missed the mark.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

We'll see. At the moment the hive is in the field. Next year we'll see how well it did in action! :)

[@robertzack3553]

you can lead a horse to water...........

[@mrsseasea]

I'm no bee keeper.......but I would buy one!

[@annetterolonjimenez875]

I like the latch idea! I would add a lock to keep raccoons out.
