In Missouri where the summers are hot and humid, a screened bottom board works for me so I can slide open the slider to let a little more air flow thru, so my bees don't have to beard on the front of the Hive. In winter simply put insulation (solid board or fiberglass) on the slider and close. Must keep it closed so mice don't get in. However if they do, they still can not get into the Hive if you use hardware cloth. In January, I can easily open the slider and use my oxalic acid iron to smoke the hive.

in the fall you can slide a piece of foam insulation under the screen for winter protection. good job on keeping the price down.
Realize this is an old video, but it still pops up first when doing a search. Is there anyway you could pin a comment listing the total raw materials necessary? If you mention that the screen was 1/8” in the list, it would silence the haters too. Thanks!!

@MasterOfNone844 жыл бұрын
Screen bottoms help with ventilation and reducing verroa mite numbers. But they wont reduce the mite load low enough that it will eliminate having to treat your bees. (You will still need some type of verroa treatment) Solid bottoms dont require keeping winter boards on hand (the board you slide in the slots). They make ventilation in the summer a little more challenging and your mite load will statistically be a little higher. But if you use an oxalic acid vaporizer its quick and easy with solids. Screen bottoms you have to put your winter cover in before OA treatments. There are pluses and minuses to both, you just have to weigh your options and go with what fits your style. I hope I didnt make that confusing. Lol

@@ahorsley1027 you can't make top bars from them because they are weak and will bow out under weight of combs. And it's hard to seal the plywood organically or bee-friendly from weather. Also plywood is probably too weak to have several deeps stacked on top of each other full of combs, bees, frames, honey etc. All around not a great idea to build entire hive out of plywood. Can use it for the bottom board and roof board if you cover the roof board with metal or something.
Can you do a video on making your bases?
I plan on doing that next. I've gotten a little side tracked. Lol
It would be more educational with the music.
Uhh Yeah. GREAT Video! Dig the music too
Arent the frames suppose to hang ?
Biggy, yes there is a small amount of room I've accounted for to put a frame rest or spacer on the lip. It will also hang when on top of another hive body.
5/8 frame hanger gives u b e e space on the bottom
the Dado on the top should have been 5/8" instead of the 3/4" that was used. This allows for bee space as well. But there will be room on top of another box or the bottom board.
@@333widowmaker brood comb bars need to be 1&1/4" and honey bars need to be 1.5". I assume it's the same for frames but idk.
