Expansion is under way

It doesn’t look like it, but I have a pile of hives in my garage:

A dozen nucs waiting to be cut and assembled

Top-bar hives are, generally, a build-it-yourself affair. There’s no standard size or shape, so after some experimentation, we’ve settled on our own. That stack of pine should yield about a dozen 10-bar nucleus hives and their bars.

Once I get it all trued, cut, glued, screwed together, cut and rout the bars. Oh, and build roofs. And stands. :-D

Then we start splitting hives. It’s gonna be a busy season.
