    I would much rather watch a high speed video with commentary than a person struggling to fill the time with pointless chatter. I enjoyed seeing another take on the horizontal hive.

    Very helpful video. I bought one Layen's Hive from Dr. Leo and hope to make more. His instructions for the insulated hive didn't have pictures so this video filled in some blanks for me.

    I am a 72 year old female in Las Vegas Spring Mountains who watched this entire video. I have noticed the bees making hives in the natural peat moss shore of my large pond and have wondered what to do about those bees! I have been watching Doug & Leo's bee videos and may help save those bees by having my son build that beautiful horizontal bee hotel after I hang a bee catcher next Spring in the willow that graces the pond. My son will be the builder! Thank you!

    Love the high speed also...saves a lot of skipping ahead that I usually do. Voice over saved a lot of rambling that seems to happen in live instruction videos. Would love similar video on the prep work of cutting. I know it seems straight forward but I always learn different tricks and tips that others use and I appreciate doing things easier if possible. We didn’t have a dado so we used other means to make it happen. I’m not a wood worker but I enjoy DIY and learning. In fact I make my husband double check my measurements often! 😂
    Thank you for your video!

    I enjoyed the high speed build. No reason to spend 4x the time when you can explain it in 1/4 the time no problem. You are definitely comfortable with that staple gun. As a non-tool guy, it's gonna take me more prep work & time for my hives when I build them, also cause my CDO. Hope you put out an update after you paint them. Would love to see them out & populated. Good job!

      Charles, if you don't have a compressor, I highly recommend the Ryobi 18V cordless stapler (and other tools). They have the same parent company as Milwaukee and for regular, non-pro use, they last 2-5 years.
      Made stapling furniture, chicken wire, etc easy, plus they have a lopper, drill gun, brad nailer, blowers, and a whole lot more. All use same battery and charger.

      Thanks for the comment and we really appreciate the sub and like. Glad to have you along. It is hard to hit firmly in the middle, to make the highest number of people interested. Out of curiosity, are you a bee keeper now or are you researching? We haven’t used the Layens horizontal hive yet, but we did use the Langstroth and didn’t like them. We have 10 swarm traps out now, hoping to catch some bees soon. We are likely a few weeks behind you in weather warming up.

      @@BeldingHillFarms I am. Langstroth hives. I have 2 3 4 5 8 10 frame boxes. I know and to top it off I have 3 different frame sizes. Shallow med and deep. Not to mention the swarm traps. Oh yeah I have one top bar hive too. I picked up a few copy's of his books. I recommend them all. Keeping bee's with a smile has more hive plans in it. But the keeping horizontal hives has better stuff but that's just my opinion. The Gilles queen rearing book is exactly what I was looking for. Also his garden and fruit tree books are great. Nothing affiliated just a fan. I follow a lot of Russian Beekeepers and their style and am trying to find a more standard universal style of equipment. I'm all over the place. Lol....adhd+Beekeeper.

      Belding Hill Farms I’m subbed so I hope you let us know how things go! 😁People seem to have mixed feelings about these horizontal hives. I’m not a bee keeper but am obsessed with learning about them. I love that you showed how the hive was insulated with sheep wool. I’d seen the built hives but not how they were made. Keep posting guys cos I check everyday!!!!!👍🤗😁

    I like this design. I made a video on a design for a horizontal long beehive design with the option to stack 8-frame supers. You can do a search with those words on youtube to find the video. I think horizontal hives are the best.

      @@BeldingHillFarms can you use lumber instead of plywood? I can mill lumber but can't mill plywood.

    • @BeldingHillFarms
      @BeldingHillFarms  4 роки тому

      I run a Norwood HD36 mill and thought about milling the lumber for this project too, but I have a lot of projects on the go and figured plywood would be quicker. If you decide to mill the lumber, I suggest that where the boards meet on the outside, do a 45 degree overlap or tongue and groove or something just to keep rain out of it.

    Well done! I rushed, & built a horizontal hive, but realized later, it was a version of the langstroth with shallow frames, & no screened bottom. 😖 I live in a cold climate, so my first hive, is not very useful in my area.
    I now have to build one like you show here, so when I’m successful in catching a swarm, in my Layens frame trap, I can just transfer the Layens frames, back & forth! 😁😁

    I still do not understand insulating everything but the top. Maybe it is because I am in Texas and the sun beats down, I put foam insulation under the roof of all my hives. If you put 3/4" foam insulation under the top then the holes can still vent. I plan to build the same hive pretty soon too. Just love the Layens hives. Great job!

    • @BeldingHillFarms
      @BeldingHillFarms  4 роки тому +2

      I expect the top may need insulation in the winter, but the holes in the lid allow air to flow through the top. I don't pretend to know, as I have only used the Langstroth in the past. If anyone else has experience, please add to this comment.

      During the winter, Dr. Leo suggests placing a wool pillow above the brood nest leaving enough space for proper ventilation. It’s easily removable in the summer when the heat rises and releases through the top vents. Works great!

    Well I found this just after it took me about 6 hours to put 1 together. In the UK we discovered there is a problem - metric ply is 1200 x2400mm and the metric equivalent for an American sheet is 1220 x2440mm. So we will cut the sheets slightly different next time so we don't need to buy an extra sheet of ply .........
    It will go lots faster next time! Great video, Thanks.

    Hello from Saint John. I got land in Cambridge Narrows and plan to setup some Layens hives up there. It will complement my apple trees, and I plan to add some grapevines too. Maybe some hops as well. Not sure about hop honey, but if it taste hoppy, I'll make honey brown ale. I might reach out to you at some point for some pointers if you don't mind.

    I am looking at getting in beekeeping, the Layens hive is the style that I am leaning towards. Only will be building it with framing lumber, kinda like the first hive on Dr. Leo's page. Looking forward to see how the hives do after you winter. The weather is about the same where you guys are compared to here in north central Wisconsin. Many thanks for sharing you build video. You take care. Dean

    • @BeldingHillFarms

      Unfortunately, i built 10 swarm traps (see my other video) and hung them this spring and we had no luck. We committed to Dr. Leo"s idea that wild caught bees are more resilient and therefore didn't buy any commervial bees so our hives have no bees. We have had commercial bees in the past (housed in Langstroth hives) and suffered major wintet kills, so much so that it really soured us. We are hopeful for next springs swarms again. Good luck and thanks for watching.
