I've been asked about building the the following series, I'll try. Building ANYTHING yourself, in my opinion, gives you a lot more confidence in yourself, makes understanding what you are using easier and makes repairs-improvements much easier to consider and accomplish. Here's the site w/the plans....
Rose hives are a particular type of beehive and one that I've used for many years. Usually hive boxes are made with lots of fiddly little parts - this way uses just four. I know they don't look very lovely, but they are incredibly cheap and quick to make and the bees do very well in them. This is mo...

With all this rough cut lumber I purchase I save $1/BF (board foot). To put it in perspective, a 10 frame deep takes 4.72 BF of lumber. At retail (lumber yard) prices of $1.65/BF, that's $7.80. At mill cost of $.65/BF, it's only $3 to build the same box. So I can justify putting a little more time i...

Sorry for the silent video, but there was so much noise from the saw and the vacuum that it's really better this way. The inner plywood is 1/4 plywood and had been pre-cut to fit inside the grooves cut in the rail with about 1/16" slop tolerance on all sides, that's why I nail it in place on th...

Ok, time to make the frames. The wood for sides came from the "one by" parts of the pallets. Placed down, they started at 3.8 of a inch. The top and bottoms were made from the 'two by" parts, cut down to size to make ready. This site has all the sizes...
