Hi buddy what are the diameter of the holes ❤️this video cheers kit

The Coats box is just a design using 3/8" plywood to make it quick/easy.... In the coats design, the ends of the box become the frame rest. You can change/fix every one of your coats design boxes, by just replacing the strip at the top with a full length 3/8" end board.. Should be 9-5/8" tall, like the sides.. You already have a 3/8" frame rest inside of the box, and it will be perfect.. I lived in New Orleans, and Bogalusa North of the Lake.. Sure miss the good food down there.. Especially stopping and grabbing a few links of boudin every few days.. Ha..Ha.. You can fix the tops, so they fit flat by just making it a bit wider and adding 1-1/4" wide strips around the outside edges of the box going down... It will stiffen the flat plywood and it should stay flat. Instead of the thin piece on the ends, use the same 1-1/4" plywood.. Basically, you make the sides and then lay the plywood top over the sides and nail it down.. Use something water proof to put over that and bend over the sides (1-1/4" sides), and staple it to the sides and use your reflectx and you will have an insulated top cover that won't condensate and drip on the bees during the winter. If you leave the inside of the box 1/4" longer/wider than the box dimensions, you have plenty of play to get the top on/off. The Coats design is probably designed to get a certain number of boxes out of a sheet of plywood, and this is where he used his scraps to do it.. Hard to make a 5 frame nuc out of a single sheet without needing a bit extra to finish it.. The outside finished dimensions of a 5 frame nuc should be 19-7/8" x 9-1/4" The inside dimensions where the frames will rest should be 19-1/16 best to fit frames, or 19" even which may be tight on some frames. Most plywood is metric, so, the reason why the boxes are 19-7/8" vs 20" or slightly below... If you cut 19-7/8", make sure if your cuts are not absolute perfect, they are a shy longer by a 32nd or so, then, you get the 19-1/16" spacing for your frames to rest, instead of 19" exact.. An extra 32nd on each end gives you the 1/16" you are looking for... It's all about the math.

Great idea using tiles. I'll try that. Thanks' for sharing

BECAUSE 120 MPH WINDS WAS NOT A DIRECT HIT, HAHAHA! PEACE...

About those warped boards : when you seal most of the board from exposure to moisture but don't seal one side you have created the problem yourself. Paint seals the sides of the wood that are painted but leaving one side unpainted allows humidity to be absorbed by just that side - and adsorbed moisture expands the wood. Differential expansion warps wood, always has and always will. To test that just lay a dry, straight and true 1x6" on damp soil overnight. Cupping, bowing or twisting will frequently happen. Spray the top of that board with a garden hose and the board often straightens out like before. As an alternative flip the board upside down and by the end of the day it is often is back to normal.

❤ good job

Nice idea there BDBB

Sorry man to be rude but... it cannot work. Not that I do not apppreciate the idea, but the HIVE will not accept it. its simply math. the area of a 3/4 pipe is enough to permit the passages of a certain number of bees / minute. When you put that in place the number of bees that can pass through declines too much. you will have a beard of bees 3 feet long

Have been wrestling with this… could not be more simple. Brilliant!

Yes

So how well did it work looks promising

👍

Hey BigDaddyBigz! Can we get an update video on this pollen collector please!

Who built them boxes.. Stevie Wonder... 🤣😂🤣

What dimensions do you use on your comfort hive? I need to send these to my staff taking care of my bananas and coconuts. Some beehives should increase our harvest by 40%. These are simple province folks and seeing the comfort hives, I think this would be the easiest to replicate. However, I’d like them replicated with dimensions similar to the others made. That way resources and comb may be swapped as need be.

I got this today, excited to use it! God bless

Hey there how's this product doing? Also how are you doing hope you are still going at it!

What is the code

Thanks Brady, this is awesome ❤️❤️❤️

Love the concept, great info, 90 second intro and super loud music was a turnoff.

Off the Mountain...strange things do slide .

How are your comfort hives doing?

How much do the floor titles run you?

Spray the post with a mild solution of bleach water the bees will stop going to the post they will go to the hive

Just put a piece of wood like the top “handle” at the bottom. Problem solved

guessing carpentry is not your gig lol

Nice video Big Daddy! Do you have a follow-up video where you show the inside of the hive once a colony's been living in it for a while? I wanna see what they do with the space between the end of the hive stick and the wall.

you building them crappy. I stocking mine

Thanks! I was looking for a nuc plan and this construction is at my skill level. Can't wait to get started.

Sir, why no old comb in the empty hive box?

Big daddy glad to see you back.

I love the cotes boxes. If you put a one inch strip along the bottom face and another at bottom back it closes up that gap and keeps the rain out. Then they stack. It also gives the box more strength. I double deck two five frame cotes fasten them together and catch swarms like crazy with 5 frames in upper story.

Great Summary! Very Informative!

This book 📚 is awesome.

Looks like the top box is not as long as the bottom

Can you tell me if the Dasking and the Teslang bars are made by the same company. They look alike

Can you tell me if the Dasking brand and the Teslang brand bars are made by the same company. They look alike

The bar is too short for me, besides other things I wanted to use it for squatting

Good ✌️🐝🍯

Good ✌️🐝

thank you.... bro 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🌹🌹🌹🌹

Hi there, thanks for the quick overview, I'm considering getting the same bar & bands set since going to the gym is no option anymore. Greetings from Germany :-)

Carpenter is not within big daddy skill set. Rulers and tapes are great tools to have.

Thats a lot of bees lost:(

this type of plywood will absorb moisture like a sponge, i would build these from outdoor waterproof type like Advantec

Hey good sir! Hello from Sydney! I am considering buying a Resistance Band Bar myself, and this video is immensely helpful. The bar looks solidly built and the bands look great too. I am sold. I will order these. Thanks again!

Hey good sir! Hello from Sydney! I am considering buying a Resistance Band Bar myself, and this video ( and the previous one where you unpacked the bar ) is immensely helpful. The bar looks solidly built and the bands look great too. I am sold. I will order these. I wish you good luck with your health! :)

I like the tile idea but doesn't it make top feeding kind of hard? You cut holes in ceramic tile??

I was going to comment about the audio being very low. It helps if you turn your phone volume up 😂😂😂😂

Howdy mate, great video, the audio is a bit quite, not sure how come but happy to lend a hand with anything technical if you need us. Otherwise, keep up the great work, you've gained a subscriber, I like your comfort hives and how you conduct yourself :)
