I bought one of these Fake-A-Maye hives and its the bomb in the winter, its a month ahead of any wood set-up. Wood supers will also work on top but you may need a wood rim to keep it from sliding off. Also acquired an ANEL, its a little different but another great beehive. I made a wood cradle to hold the bottom board on cinder blocks or the wood racks I use. Just bought one more of each insulated hive to start using in the spring, not interested in poly because of rodents and other critters.
I love it so far, I bought another one. They are hard to find. I have looked at the Anel and would like to try one. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Great video!
Thank you very much, I love your videos, I watch them all the time. Beautiful location down there. May try one of those Anel's soon.
@@theboonecountybeekeeper Thank you much! We're definitely blessed here in Russellville. Give the Anel a shot. Let us know what you think!
I have been really eyeballing ordering some stuff from you guys just dont know if shipping to california will kill any deals, thats the issue with buying beehives I have to have them all shipped to me and shipping is as much as the hives and just not viable.
🎈 dropped in lol. No honestly we will get together and compare them. Nice looking boxes. God bless ole buddy, keep the great videos rolling.
Thanks buddy, we will get together. Thanks for watching.
I like your taste in bait hive colors!
Winter is not over yet. I was looking at a picture from April 19th where we had 4" of snow last year.
It appears I've lost 2 of my 6 LLHs already this winter.
I have to agree with your opinion on Apimaye hives. Until I win the lottery (which I don't play) I won't be buying one.
Sorry about your losses, I still think we will have some winter. Thanks for watching
I almost pulled the trigger on ordering one of these. I'm trying to keep all my equipment the same though so I don't have to store extra. I like that it comes with 3 boxes. The only negative reviews I read were that the inside dimension is a little large and the frames can drop inside the box. One reviewer screwed 1/8" sheet of wood to one inside face to overcome this obstacle. Looking forward to see how it turns out for you. Thanks for sharing!
Anxious to try it out, thanks for watching buddy
good like
Thanks for watching.
How many frames are they?
10 frame equipment
Nothing wrong with Being Frugal. I just don't Know if I'm ready for a Plastic Bee Box. Summers in the south can be hard on Plastic. Plastic Buckets get brittle and fall apart in a couple of years. Not sure the plastic Hive can with stand the time, And it is more equipment to keep up and store. But I am interested to see how it works for you. Enjoy your videos keep them coming
I am curious to if they will hold up or not, we will try them and see. Thanks for watching and good luck this season.
HDPE is sun resistant
Where did you buy it?
Ebay but I don't see them on there now.
I really hate that im strugging to find hives I see in videos, trying to find a good hive for this spring when I get my next nucs in. @@theboonecountybeekeeper
Where did you get these?
On EBAY, type in Thermo Plastic Beehive. Shop around some , good luck. Thanks for watching.
@@theboonecountybeekeeper thank you!
Hey Tim, what state is Boone County in? I really enjoy your videos.
