Month: January 2019

I purchased 18 1X12X12 cedar boards to build six full hives. I cut them up and got them ready to be assembled. I also made several jigs for this project including one to make the handles, and one to make the rooftops. I purchased a box cut jig for the boxes I will be building.

We knew we were going to expand the number of hives we had in our backyard, so Jill wanted to build a hive stand that would hold six hives. It had to be 12 ft long and minimize the legs for pest with maximum support.
