Well done videos and quality builds. You deserve more views! Subscribed. 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Anxiously waiting more videos builds regarding honey bees! Maybe construct stands for honey bee hives?? 🐝🐝
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my videos. I do plan to do a few more beekeeping equipment videos in the future. As of now I’m in the middle of a few cabinet and woodworking videos. I don’t use a traditional hive stand so I have not even considered doing that. Thanks for the idea. I’ll see what I can come up with.
Again, thanks for watching!

Hi, do you somehow treat the wood ?
What do you use to plug the hole when you aren't feeding?
I use a one piece mason jar lid. You can also lay a flat piece of wood or sign board over the hole and hold it down with a brick. The bees will take care of water proofing it in a day or two.
Why don't you use just 1 piece of wood instead of tongue and groove?
You could do that with an exterior grade of plywood. That’s how my pallets are made. For single bottom boards, I like the smaller planks for a number of reasons. The narrow planks tend to have less noticeable deflection from cupping making them easier to work with. They also allow room for expansion and contraction within each expansion joint. It’s also a good way for me to use up materials that would otherwise be scraped.
