Wow couldn't ya fine some 1 X 12s that going to be heavy ~ i even glued 1 x 4s togather That works to. I like to make the holes next to the bottom where they can drag things out. Looks like you got the correct bee space : top to bottom and side of the frames! That very important ~ A Nice Strong Build
Hahhaha it's built Ford tough. I did a 2" for better insulation. It does have weight to it. I'm not moving it once in place 😁 Thanks bud. We will see how it goes come spring.
It seems so. We will see how it goes. I will run 5 of them with Italian and Cornies. You should build one if you can. I'm interested in that Poly hive to. Keep us updated on that
Awesome work..step by step directions and measurements are a great help..thank you..new at beekeeping and trying not to spend a fortune on my hobby..DIY is the only way..lol
I enjoyed watching your build. The detail to the top is a very nice touch to ensure a good waterproof fit. Now that you have been using this top for almost a year, how is it holding up to the weather. Has it been a problem with swelling and shrinkage? I want to use the idea on the hive I am building so let me ask you strait out, would you do it again, did it work over the long run?
Hey Joseph. Thanks for watching. The only thing I would change and will is the top cover. I will use metal to cover the roof. That plastic wrapped and water got to playwood. It didn't get in the hive but did under the top plastic cover. Other then that I love these hives.
@@NKYHoneyBees ahhh nice! Building a few hives as we speak. Thanks for the great content! Let get you to atleast 6k subs this year. Got any new videos planned?
Lol Thanks. Yes, I will have more soon. I had some family stuff and had to focus on that all summer. Didn't have much time for anything else. I will be full in again soon.

@@NKYHoneyBeesIt will work. Its built like a tank. Should get many many years out of it. Thank God your not moving it 😆 Cheers buddy
Cheers!
They are beautiful hives!
Thank you, your measurements are perfect
Thank you 😊 Glad it helps
Where did you find the measurements? I’d like to try build this one
Great video !
Thank you 😊
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Following along. This would make it so much easier to inspect them. I think I may build one of these and also try a Poly hive.

Thank for coming by. Yes, I agree. DIY is much cheaper. I spent too much on boxes and this is way cheaper and easy to built.
You have made some very nice horizontal hive and you made a great step by step video!! Will done!! Love your channel!!
Thank you Rickey. I will give it a shot with these upcoming spring. I hope they do well. Thank you for coming by :)

I believe sun got to the plastic or I simply didn't have enough overhang to make sure water doesn't get in
Nice Build !
Thank you 🍻
