Were these inside a shed or other type of building? What's the story?

Yes, in an open front shed. The hinged wings of the box were closed and it was laying flat on the doors. A couple of new beeks started it and decided it was too much after they opened it, so called me. I just directed while they did the work. Three young men wanting to learn and going about it in the right way. I enjoyed the day teaching and they are great prospects to becoming fine beeks. We filled two deeps with bees and brood, and two 5 gallon buckets with honey.
PS. At 94 degrees and working in the sun, it was another shirtless one for me. Just can't seem to endure the heat like I could in the years past.
Thought it looked like the inside of a building, thanks for filling in the blanks. Good job with the lessons.
The heat is definitely on Iddee, its affecting everyone, of all ages, even this punk. :-D

Iddee, when doing the cut out and putting the combs with broods into the frames, how you make them stay vertical so that the combs don't touch one another? Last time I did it the bees just glued four frames together. It's just impossible to do any inspection or maintenance.

Hinged & wired cut-out frames

Congratulations Iddee on your easy cutout
