They were good bees. You should make a hive from an old 1970′s cabinet TV. Then you could drink beer and watch them from a recliner on your roof.

Nate, With your beard they thought you were a bear. So one sting on the face is a pretty gentle response to a bear attack right? You handled it as calmly as Ive ever seen, actually. “oh. One got me. ” I was impressed.

As far as th weird frame, Rachel, that is as you guessed, a lack of frames on the right side of the photo. One hive died so I put their old honey frames in the new one, then left the other space empty. So that’s a more natural pattern. The gaps are the “bee space” for the ladies to access the cells.

A dream project is to take a fish tank and make a hive from that. No frames. A box around it that lifts off. Then you could look in occasionally.

Maybe I’ll take the wood away from this one and set it in glass for the kids next year!

Finally, thanks for the tip Lyle!

Sorry about the girls.
Why is that frame so weird-looking?? Is that even a frame?
