where can I find drawings with hive dimensions.
I would like to print and keep plans for 10 frame and 8 frame hives, as well as top bar hives.
You can find lots of information on this site at " EQUIPMENT USAGE, EXPERIMENTATION, HIVE PLANS, CONSTRUCTION TIPS AND TOOLS"
Or you can look at http://www.michiganbees.org/beekeeping/in-the-beekeepers-workshop/
Dennis (bwrangler) is always changing his websites around, so get the plans while you can LOL!
Here's his latest site and has some good TBH plans

Google the "for dummies" website then search there. I always add beekeeping to my search and find the plans.
MT,
Bee careful with Beekeeping for dummies, some of their measurements are wrong. I used them when I started and luckily my father-in-law pointed the errors out. That was in 2010, sorry I do not remember which ones they were. I am pretty sure the super dimensions were correct.

Oh seriously? Ok. Thanks for the heads up Jim.
This is what I use to build my boxes.

LK, good video.
Cao/Sundog, When I try to go to the link it says page not found.
I usually make mine with a skill saw using just a single blade. This spring I've made 20+ mediums & 20+ deeps, a couple of queen castles, and maybe something else. When you add it all up and multiply it by 4 it comes out to around 200 handles. You'd think I would be good at it by now :wink: Yeah, I'm looking for a better way :)

Looks like they've had a 'tidy-up' ...
This might be the same:

or - the file you want can be sourced from:

The Internet Archive is your friend (and mine) :smile:

Beesource got hacked, I just read they're still restoring things that got severed while cleaning up. That page was probably one of them.
PM me if you need plans.
