Build A National Beehive From Scratch - Part 1 - Open Mesh Floor

I don't think you have to be beekeeping for long before you start to want to make your own equipment. I decided I really wanted to make a few hives from scratch. I'm in no doubt that some bits of the hive are cheaper to buy than make, but this series of videos is going to go through making a national hive from rough sawn boards through to finished beehive.

This is part one, where I build an open mesh floor. I may make other videos making other types of floors in the future.

Follow for when I make the brood box, supers, roof and folding hive stand.

Let me know what you'd like me to build next.

Great video thanks. Have you seen the under floor entrance they are much better as stops wasps and mice getting in.
