Thank you. Always plan ahead. Having to take down a hive stand because you took a shortcut or didn’t use enough supports is a lot of work with colonies on it. This is one reason why many prefer single stands. When they need work it is so much simpler but I do prefer the look and space of these. That is until I have to many colonies on one. 4 and 5 years on the original 2 stands in the production yard If you ever need to chat or talk let me know. I have spoken to many over the phone and I really enjoy working through issues others are having. Checkout the swarm catching group I started on Facebook. Many great catchers with great knowledge. Participation in the spring is great and it works like a heat map from south to north to plan for your areas swarm catching season facebook.com/share/g/hzb9qbZL7Kci9ksA/?mibextid=K35XfP Best of luck
Appreciate the tips. First year Beekeeper. I like the hive stand idea as well.
