I think around 31-ish. The first time I did the math it was 29 but I used the wrong measurement.

All it needs is paint and bees! The entrances are on the hinge side so you can work bees without disturbing the flow. Mistakes were made but it will work great just the same. I learned a lot building that tank!

It only weighs 2 tons… 🙄

I have some incentive to get this long hive finished. It’s been 2 weeks since I checked my supers. Just a reminder, one hive had zero comb drawn and the other had trace amounts on 1 frame. Today both hives have at least 8 frames full of capped and uncapped honey. I don’t have anymore supers...

If they don’t like the surface they will build out from the actual foundation. I have been told some of these companies use inferior wax on the foundation therefore creating the opposite effect. Paraffin and other ingredients they use to make the wax go further, make the bees angry. They take it...

Still got a ways to go but it’s a good start. I put those frames in for effect 😁.

Just down the highway in Meridian. Welcome!

Hey everyone. I still have chickens. My RIR auto sexing project is pretty much complete. This last batch I hatched, there was never a doubt about how many pullets and cockerels I had. I just got one problem. I have lots more cockerels than pullets! 😭 I pulled eggs from 3 different groups and...

I better get busy. My projects tend to drag out. As far as my 2 hives go, the deep brood boxes are packed with brood and honey but they have just begun to draw comb in one of the supers. One had an excluder and the other didn’t. The one that didn’t had just the smallest amount of comb started...

Will do! There’s lots of YT guys that have videos on using long hives. Most in the south. Kamon Reynolds did an entire series on it a few years back. They build between floor joists going horizontal and have thriving colonies. I figure this is no different, right?

One thing is for certain. If you don’t like it, you can switch back to traditional Langstroth. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be taking the risk. When you say the earlier in the year the better, would you not attempt it at all this year? I’m totally cool with waiting until next year if that’s what will...

I started building a long Langstroth hive today. I’m using some scrap wood so it’s not as it would be if I were going to Lowe’s to buy new lumber. I’m edge gluing 2x6s for the sides instead of using a 2x12. It should be a fun project. I love woodworking and have gotten out of it over the years...

As long as you’re in Canada I think it’s ok.

From what I read, the bees love catalpa. There’s several in the pasture beside my sister’s house where the bees keep coming back year after year. So, there may be something to it.

These guys in south Louisiana are already pulling honey supers because of the massive privet flow. They’re extracting honey and putting supers back on for the talo flow, which is supposed to be even better than the privet flow. Not having that late freeze like last year has made a huge...

Grilling chair legs?

Nice! You got the flying saucer right along the edge.

It’s apparently happening again around 11:30 central
