Overview of Horizontal Langstroth (Long Lang) Hive build

[@mattmcgee4484]

Hey. I'm building one just like this, using the same plans. I'm not using 2x4's for the roof, though. That's a bit much. I'm also using a screened bottom board instead of that shim, and putting in removable mite boards under the screen. You might want to adjust your follow board. It looks like there's a bit of a space between the top of the board, and the bottom of the cover boards (though it is hard to tell from the video). That follow board should fit tight to the cover boards.

Nice build! How did you go about making the double frame rest rabbits? I'm looking for a safe easy way yo do them.

@@1ButterflyHunter thanks! I found the easiest way was to use multiple passes with a table saw.

I would like to get a set of those plans. Do you plan on harvesting honey from it?

@@dannhauber6816 the plans can be found in the video description. This hive design accommodates standard deep frames. You can spin them out with an extractor.
