It's nice, simple, and works well but it's important to make it 24" wide. I tried it with just one full block stacked up, but the hives tip too easily.
I think bees would be cool. I know the previous owner of my place had black bear problems when they tried honey bees. I might stick with my maple syrup.... undecided :)
@@HedgeAppleAcres As I slowly expand from veg/berries to poultry I know I will have some electric fencing eventually. Maybe I can make a safe haven for a few hives? We'll see. I want to make sure the bears don't eat the chickens first.... THEN I'll worry about the bees :)
So true! Electric netting or fencing would be necessary. It's one of the reasons I love my LGDs. Without them, the possum, skunks, etc would have a chicken dinner with my chickens!

I really like the 4x4 idea, looks great.

Very nice simple stands. Not sure if I will ever get into bee keeping but I’ll keep this in mind!
It's a nice simple stand that works great! And you should try bees sometime! It is the coolest feeling to have them flying all around you.
Good info! Would like to get some bees next year!
Of all my projects, the bees keep me learning the most!
How many hives could you put on this

Black bears would be troublesome! Luckily, I don't have to worry about them.
