Hello Congratulations a fantastic channel, this is probably one of them best and videos on how to build a basic national!
I'm planning on building some for my self. But I was wondering if you would mind sharing with me the dimentions/cutting list for the timber?
Many thanks.

[AndyFoster-vx]

Do you have a cut list please as im new to bee keeping and want to keep costs low so will give building my own a go

[IanCurrie-gwtf]

Thanks for the really useful and clear video. Only thing is, I can't find any note of all the dimensions, sizes & thickness. Have I missed them somewhere?

[mauricewoolnough]

Do you have a cutting list available 🙃

[LO_Kee]

Absolutely brilliant video mate thanks... Thinking of getting into a bit of Bee and Mushroom farming at home. And this video is exactly what I needed to see. Very good. Very informative too...😎👍👏.. I'll let you know how mine turns out... I'll Bee back 😃🐝

[jasonduffee]

Great tutorial video, It would be nice to see a few more to build the whole hive and perhaps a plan to down load dimensions from as this seems to be the best and easiest build I’ve seen

[MuddyBootz]

Hi mate, a good in depth demo. Having the right tools helps 👍🏻. I got a table and chop saw like yours. I like the router table with the feather boards. Nice neat job. Don’t envy you painting them all, can’t you bribe the kids 😄😄😄👍🏻

[shawnclements]

Thanks you. Really great video. Two question, whats the dimension of the timber? (38x63mm or 45x70mm) and what is the distance the smaller sides are recessed into the larger sides? Many thanks

[jonathanpearson]

Great stuff. I do the same thing. Using marine / external ply for the sides and fsc pine for the runners. I then coat the inside with an environmentally and insect friendly oil. I then treat the outside with an insect friendly water based wood stain. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you for this methodical hive building instruction!
very helpful information
i have pine hive but i think i will make it plywood after having seen how you did it especially if it last over 5years
Very much appreciated!

[willscarlet]

Thanks for all the dimensions, sizes & thickness of ply very helpful

[wendyrowland]

I love your efficiency and proficiency. If I had a well set up workshop like yours, I might still be making things. I find all your bee videos very interesting.

[josephinebaker]

Hi thanks for the video!

I was just wonsering, what thickness is the ply?


I'm just trying to make some swarm bait boxes and i'm trying to do some figuring out about the bee space and hanging the frames etc..


I have 1/2 inch ply.


Thanks again.

Great video, very informative.

I am interested in trying to make my own. Would you be so kind to hare brood and super diamentions including ply thickness?

Have a great day

[edlenny]

any measurements available for creating these? would love to know the dimensions to have a go

[josephcroft]

how many hives consisting of a brood box and 2 supers & roof would i get from a sheet of ply

[NORTHWESTHONEYBEES]

Hi. Do you have any plans and dimensions for the hives. Thanks

[SimonPlatten]

Do you have any video on how you made your table saw ?

[adrianmorris]

Can you give measurements of all pieces of timber used?

[meehan]

Thank you, Tony for that great information about using Ply.
