Finished!

As of today, I am now finished with all of the assembling, oiling, and painting accociated with the building of a new hive! Since my last post I have:

Painted the hive body

Painted the bottom boards

Modified the bottom boards to become screen bottom boards

Assembled 2 honey supers

Painted 2 honey supers

Assembled 20 frames to go in the honey supers

Assembled the inner and outer covers

Oiled and painted the inner and outer covers

And nailed a metal cover onto the outer cover.


Tomorrow, I'll be dropping off my hive (with 8 frames) to have bees put in them. I'll be picking it up in April, when they are full of bees!
