Brilliant design. Gorgeous construction. This is a beekeeper with chronic pain and fatigue's living dream. I was so thrilled that I might be able to keep bees without having to try to lift the heavy boxes that I actually cried. Thank you so much for allowing me this glimpse of hope.

Best horizontal design I've seen yet!

Functional and good looking craftsmanship!

I just had to comment again it’s just a really slick design. Well thought out and made to actually operate. Efficiently way to go good job!!! It’s beautiful.

Thats a work of art sir.

I was about to say the same.

sure was a lot of fun doing this build. i have milled out some 2 inch cedar and when i have some time ill do another design similar to this one , but with a few different ideas. not a lot of time since i am making bee hives for people all over the place. i do have a web page with a photo gallery . name of the web site is hunterhives.com

This is some fine craftsmanship right here!

There was so many additional features i did not mention in the video, ill have to make another video but here are a few more things i did. The lid has vents installed on both ends plus on one end is a bee escape in case a bee gets trapped in the lid area when closed. if you noticed in the video , you did not see a bee entrance. its on the back side, same side as hinges for the lid are. that way you are not standing in the flight path blocking the bee's. i have a design that lets you add temporary wheels to one ends of the Horizontal hive so it can be rolled into position instead of lifting and carrying. normal horizontal weight is around 90 pounds. this one design has much more weight. the frame holders on the far right are removable and can be stored in the lid area on clips. you can add additional foam sheets inside the Lid. on the bottom boards there is a cover that pivots to open or close those vents.

We have a new Horizontal coming online very soon. Its constructed the same way as the gabled roof horizontal but out of 2 inch thick Cedar milled down to 1 1/2 thickness. i can not believe how much the cost of wood has gone up, and we have had to reflect that in our prices. sure will be nice when the price of wood goes back down and so will our prices. we always strive to give everyone the best possible product at the lowest price . so watch for the Video on the new Cedar Horizontal Hive, should be on you tube within 2 weeks.

hello bob . if you go to horizontal hives .com they have the basic box and leg design . legs are cut at 30 1/2 inches and attached to box after you attach 2 x 4's around out side edges . the lower drawer design draw track rails are made from 2 x stock can be made as deep as you want. i ordered trays from amazon like they would use in a army mess hall but plastic . you cut a slot a little over 1/4 wide in each rail and test them so they can slide in and out and also a dado on the bottom of each rail for the 3/4 thick bottom of the drawer and i drill a hole and use wire mesh for additional vent . i also started installing peek roofs check out those builds
