Been putting together the hive boxes and the frames (and foundation) from Brushy Mountain; 5 boxes of cool stuff, absolutely no missing parts, but this can get tedious… 70 frames to put together….
Decided to paint the boxes different colors; that, and separating the hives should be very good at preventing any colony drift as the bees navigate.
We are going to try 2 systems; one of the hives will have a medium super for honeycomb honey, and the other will have the flow hive for harvesting any surplus honey; it’ll be a neat experiment. The FlowHive is cool, but you don’t harvest any wax from it; so if you want wax or pure in-the-comb honey, then the FlowHive is not what you want.
My fingers are a little tore up…. 70 frames with tiny little nails…. buahaha..
Brushy Mountain has plenty of videos online to help understand how to put those things together, but you might have to search YouTube to find them.
