Hey Eric,
Been keeping bees for a few years now. Oh, that reminds me, here's another box I made....
I won't keep you guessing as to what it is this time.
It's an observation hive I keep out in the shed next to my mill and lathe. I can see what the bees are up to in this hive and then I know what they're doing in my outside hives. That way I know when to feed, when to split, harvest, etc.
This thread sure jumps all over the place huh?
