ENTRANCE BLOCK ; Nailing it in is inflexbile. Just have it sitting there is a pain. (Try to get it out and you'll just poke it in more.) So drill two holes just inside the entrance (on either side) and pop a wooden dowel ___^_ This way the block sits inthe entrance but you cannot push it in too far.
The instructions are "so important"? Your instructions don't match the video! If I need to drill, why not tell me what size of bit to use instead of using a cut off nail? The instructions tell me to attach the runners as the first step before any nailing. It's great you provide a video, but you could give measurements of where to nail. This video goes too quickly for a complete beginner to follow. It requires too much rewinding, pausing, watching AGAIN to make it easy. Both your instructions and your video could be greatly improved.
Completetely take your point about the drill bit. We will try to update these videos over the next year. When we produced test videos the feedback was very much that people wanted to rewind and watch again (if they needed to) rather than watch a much slower video. Thank you for your comments.
take notes before using the video in the shed. "4 nails in front 2 in back each side" is so mis-interpretable without attention you could end up with an iron maiden for your bees

How does the entrance block is attached to the floor? do you nail it to the side of the front?
The block just sits in the gap. It is not fixed in and can be easily removed when needed
"A Bodgit OMF "... great demo thanks
