Title: Demo Hive (single stacked medium frames)
Post by: jmblakeney on April 22, 2012, 09:47:57 PM
I wanted to show you guys the demo hive that I finally finished.  It is for single stacked medium frames.

I really like it.  I am usually my biggest critic, but I am really pleased with this.  

Aidens former kindergarten teacher asked him to come back this year and give a demonstration on beekeeping again.   He will be using this as one of the props.  The teacher is so excited.

Very nice.....

I like how the door is screwed shut,  no worry of some kid opening it up.

Great job....

Very nice.  You want to sell one?  I have one just like it made for deeps which I modified to also take Dadant deeps, but it's too shallow for two mediums... and mediums are what I run...
