Assembly

At my class on the 2nd, I got all of the pieces to build my hives. I will have to assemble 10 frames and the brood box before the March class. In addition, all of the wooden pieces, excepting the frames, will need to have a coat of linseed oil (to help prevent decay) and 2 coats of paint put on. So far, we have assembled the frames and the brood box, and put oil on the box. I'll be updating soon with pictures.

Next weekend, I'll be putting the first coat of paint on. After that I'll need 1 more coat of paint, and the hive will be ready to put bees in!
