Observation Hive In 2003


Observation Hive In 2003
"my wife finally relented and allowed me to install an observation hive in the house. To make it more manageable I built a rather large one, 8 medium frames tall and one frame wide to allow all frames to be seen. It has been a wonderful experience for the children and I've learned many things from it in just the short time we have had it. The construction is fairly simple using standard hardware and 2x4 pine lumber using plans from Beesource as a guide (though they were heavily modified). Construction may seem a bit heavy duty (note the padlocks and thick frame), but it is secure against children, cats, dogs, and makes my wife feel more secure about it."
