I just started reading about bees the last couple days and joined the site yesterday. It was raining and I had the day off so I just went for it. After looking at others designs I scratched some rough dimensions and tailored it to the free scraps I had lying around. I need to buy another set of viewing hinges and some cove or popsicle stick to attach to TB's. Hopefully I'm on the right track.
I still need to figure out the bottom screen or board. It looks too wide to me. I might add a eco-floor. |

Getting there. Got a little creative. Just need legs and decide on entrance.

That hive raises the bar on good looking hives. Now get some bees in it and have unlimited photo ops.

I'm still debating entrance location. Once I join a beek club and source some bees I will follow their advice for what works in our zone. |
