    Your videos are great because they are clear, orderly, and precise. I like that you may be a little OCD. There’s nothing wrong with doing something right. Thanks for sharing.

    Finished my first one, thanks for the easy to follow instructions. Always could fall back on the video too. :) The plan was awesome, maybe though you could include a hardware list of what is needed, size, etc. That would let a person like me, without a lot of construction experience really feel secure! Thanks again!

      that's great, the bees are a lot of fun but they do take a bit of time to take care of.

    Hello Jon Peters,
    I am a hobby bee keeper from France and I use the hives my Dad had built back in the fifties. They often need reparing and fixing and I spend quite some time in my workshop sawing, cutting painting.
    I really enjoyed watching your videos..

    Hi Jon, I really appreciate how you comment on the size of materials. It's quite helpful. I've seen plans that were a lot more vague. The wood dimensions were right on but screws and nails were left up to us to figure out. Thank you.

    @sjbl1962 9 років тому +1

    Super video John.
    I've set out a bee feeder near my shop to see if there are any wild colonies close by; I haven't seen any honey bees visiting the feeder. I wish I would have built a hive during the winter; I might have been able to convince any swarming bees to stay around.
    Thank you for the video john.

    tedious than building 100 frames

  • @donjohnson24

    My wife won't let me keep bees, but a neighbour has just started doing so, so perhaps she'd like one of these hives.

    Hi Jon, I'm a NewBee who was bitten just a week ago. I'm still deciding on which style of hive I want to pursue and your videos make the TopBar Hive very appealing.
    Thanks a Million for your very professional and instructive lessons on hive building. I'm sure that many other NewBees will profit for your Great work. ;o)

    • @JonPetersArtHome
      @JonPetersArtHome  9 років тому +1

      Don Bomer Thanks Don, I've just started thinking about a Warre hive you might want to take a look at one.

    • @donbomer5630
      @donbomer5630 9 років тому

      ***** Thanks for the quick reply Jon. I also researched the Warré hive and will eventually build or buy one or more. It looks like it may be the best of both worlds, Top Bar and Langstroth. FYI I found Warré plans at theselfsufficientliving.com/10-free-langstroth-and-warre-or-top-bar-beehive-plans/
      BTW, your plans, especially part 1, are very difficult to read due to JPEG compression. I highly recommend you save drawings a GIF file to prevent this problem.
      I'm in the process of re-drawing the plans in Visio and will be happy to share them with you and your followers when finished. A free Visio reader is available on-line from Microsoft.

    Jon, quick question. I was wondering what you would think about putting a 3" dryer vent in the roof of the hive? Would that help with ventalation?

  • @crbanks03

    Could you make a video on making a good cross cut sled for a table saw? Ive been trying a few and cant find one I really like but I like the one I see in your videos. Really enjoy the videos you got me going on my woodworking hobby.

  • @notcharles
    @notcharles 6 років тому

    Great Part Two!
    Noticed we have (it appears) the same 14" BS. I was disappointed with mine. I had a SEARS tilting arbor BS and sold it to get the $$ to buy the Delta. Almost instantly the tilt arbor broke and I discovered it (and the only replacement available) were made of pot metal.
    I was also surprised to find it didn't appear to have much power.
    I wondered if you had found any issues with yours and (esp) if you 'fixed' any!
    BTW: When attaching the roof (in Part One) you added a strip of wood to the exterior end panel. Then (in Part Two) you layered another 1/4" thick piece on top of the first piece. Then when attaching the hinge, added a shim to the 'lid' (roof) leaf of the hinge to effectively move the roof 'over' 1/8"
    I cant' recall the dimension given for the first piece - but will call it 3/4" for sake of simplifying this suggestion.
    Since you added 1/4" to the 3/4" strip, then 1/8" to the hinge leaf, the first strip added should be equal to 6/8 + 2/8 - 1/8 or 7/8".

    Did you consider putting the hinges on the long side? The hinges could go on the side where the bees enter making hive inspection more convenient and less intrusive on the bees.

    Roofing Screws --> There are such things. They come with a rubber 'washer' that seals the hole. They are Galvanized and self-tapping through 18-20 gauge metal roofing material. I really like your build - not a critic, just sharing another way.

  • @robinlivengood2285
    @robinlivengood2285 7 років тому

    I love this video and have watched it several times. My father in law is going to make this hive for me, but I was wondering if it could be changed to allow for the entrance on the short end of the hive instead of the long end? Do you see any problems that would create?

  • @williamberto3789
    @williamberto3789 8 років тому

    Hi Jon-Just watched your video/part 1 & 2. I raised bees as a teenager(my dad had a couple of hives and my brother and I took over for a few years). We always had to put a smaller entranceway to the honey boxes to keep the queen and drones out, and isolate the brood boxes. How does that separation work here, and is it not even necessary? Thanks for a reply. Bill B.

    Hi Jon, thanks for these plans - I have 1 problem - I built your previous version using your inside side dimension of 13" x 12" & your new version is 12 3/4" x 12" - how come you didn't have any trouble moving your bars from hive to hive as this changes the width of the body of the hive?

    • @JonPetersArtHome
      @JonPetersArtHome  9 років тому

      Most people will be able to find 1x6 &1x8 at the home store and 1 x6 + 1 x8 = 123/4" mine is 13 x 12 but the plans are for 12 3/4 x 12

      The bees naturally build their comb in this shape. It is called a catenary curve. The comb is also stronger this way.
