Been making mine that way for years. Mine are a little deeper as well so when they build comb on the bottom I use it for cell punching queens so far it's working great.👍👍

Thanks E&M, I make a separate bottom board to give them more room at the bottom. I appreciate you commenting 🙂.

2*8 is a little tight for 5 and heavy! I have done it though. This year I am trying the plywood nucs where you get 4 boxes per sheet. I bought 5 sheets at $27.50 each

Yes , I use the wood preservative treatment. I first pre soak each board then assemble my boxes . I may not be in in 10 years . But God Willing my boxes will. Nus. Swarm Trap 8 & 10 frame . Lids. Thanks Be Safe God Bless. Joe

I believe I would still use gloves. I think the more you protect your hands from substances that might not be friendly to our porous skin.Good video. You mentioned. These days it seems materials are so expensive the builders conserve their own scraps. Where do you like to get scraps?
@bruceandhisbees17707 ай бұрын
Hi John, Sorry for the delayed reply. Here is a lot of construction going on in my area so I usually ask the builders for some scrap. They are pretty generous with it.

I thought the idea of using the ECO sealer is so that you don't have to paint. Paint does not let moisture through and therefore the wood can hold the moisture from inside the hive causing it to rot sooner. On the other hand the ECO sealer allows the moisture to pass, allowing the wood to dry.
@bruceandhisbees17702 жыл бұрын
Interesting Greg. My thought is that the plywood ends for sure should be sealed with paint. An elderly gentleman who has been doing his beehives this way for many years taught me. I have been making my boxes this way for a couple of years now and I am happy with painting over the Tall Earth. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Bruce, why do u brad nail first after glueing and then you nail it... Why not glue and then pilot hole and nail? Thx I am a novice and am learning from you. Thx Dave from WV
@bruceandhisbees177010 ай бұрын
Hi David, basically I glue then use brad nails to hold the wood as the glue dries. I nail or screw them afterwards for extra strength. Drilling pilot holes is a good idea 👍.

Hi Bruce. Have you ever considered using 2x8 for an entire 5-fram NUC? I'm wondering how the weight would compare with a regular 10-frame box full of bees and resources.
@bruceandhisbees1770 Жыл бұрын
Well, I may be worth it for the insulation but because of the weight and my standard tops/bottoms wouldn’t fit, I probably won’t try it.

@bruceandhisbees177010 ай бұрын
No, at this point I am only using five and ten frame hives. (Ten frames deeps and mediums for honey production and five frames deeps to make more bees with). I have videos about building both these styles and it would be pretty easy to get the measurements to build eight-frame equipment, good luck.

Hi Mike, that is strange. The frames I use seem to work out all right. Did you use the 2X8 inch boards for your end pieces? Please do feel free to tweak it to make it work for you. All the best.

Hi BlackBerry, The sides are 10 inch tall by 20 inch long. For the ends I use 2x8 boards cut to 10 inches: The actual width comes to 7.5 inches which is perfect for a five-frame box. Just cut a quarter inch dado at the top to make the frame rest. Thanks for watching.
