I like how you painted them in the end. Last rime I painted hive boxes it was not convenient on the flatened cartoon box.

It is definitely the time of year to prep equipment and get ready. Thanks for sharing.

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.

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.👍👍

2 inch thick board is just more insulation!

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

I’ve been doing the same thing y’all earth and all. Made them deep like that for the queen cells as the guy says below. Cut down some wood stock yesterday so I was ready to make more today. Up in Kentucky. Still cold but getting ready!

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?

[geneford]

Hi Bruce. I could not find the video where you show us how do you make the bottoms.

[gregstickels]

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.

Hi! It is good jop sir.
Your euquipments are good.
It seems you are profesional on wooden products

[ty-fry_honeyfarm]

Nice video, learned a lot from this, thank you

[mikef]

i made it the way you said with 22 in sides and the standard langstroff frame falls thru if correct the sides should be 21 and 5/16 would that be correct

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
