New hive stand with new Nuc on it
Start with 3 10ft treated 2x4's
End trim about this much to make sure they are square
Cut 2 of the 2x4s to 76 1/4 inches
This will leave 2 pcs about 43 inches long
Form these 2 pcs cut for pcs 20inches long for legs
From other 2x4 cut 3 pcs 18 inchs long for end and middles support
and
8 pcs 9inches long 45deg angle on one end
Pre bore end of 45deg angles or they will split as a matter of fact pre bore the outside for all screws it will make assembly got that much faster
Lay sides on flat surface approx 18 inches apart
Put in end pcs and center pcs make sure they are to the inside of side pcs
Make sure sides and ends are flush with eachother and screw together with 3" deck screws if outside is pre bored this is alot easier
Put on 20 inch legs screw legs thorough main frame first 2 screws in end and 2 screws in sides then put on angle pcs for added support
Finished hivestand This is not for a commerical operation but it works great for the backyard beekeeper. It holds up to 3 hives and the spacing between the hives allows enough room for working, also when you take racks out of hives the spacing between the front and back allows them to perfectly fit between. Anyway it took about an hour and a half to build making pictures as I went
Hope you enjoy
