Building Your Own Beehive Box 

Much prefer the simplified instructions for people that aren’t familiar with all the tools! This is clear and concise.

Awesome way to build a strong box without the need for box joints or dovetails. Thank you! Wish lumber prices were still that good ha

Very well explained and easy to follow.

Thank you! 1st year keeping bees, I'd like to build my own boxes. The plan book is ordered.

Just ordered the book of plans! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. It's exactly what I've been looking for!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I have been looking on RU-vid for almost ONE WHOLE YEAR for an instructional video exactly like yours!! I know nothing about carpentry and everyone else would skip steps and use jargon that I didn't understand. I was so frustrated and angry that I could've cried. You, sir, are a NATURAL teacher and you'll never know just how grateful I feel for YOU and your excellent video! I just LIKED and SUBSCRIBED to your channel. You must teach school for a living or work as a counselor...you've got a very rare gift. Again, thank you! If you ever pass through my state of Iowa, I owe you and your Mrs. a steak supper! Take care, my friend. I'll be sure to watch and like the rest of your videos now too!

Great video. My only concern is are the staples strong enough to hold a full box of honey.

I think your box is awesome. I'm going to recreate it this year. I'm probably going to extend the handles all the way around just for added strength. I usually work with metal but I have a table saw that I have been neglecting I think this would be a good project to start using that table saw 👌🤟❤️

If you link that book in an amazon affiliate store and add the link here we could order by clicking your link and you would make a little change on the purchase. I am going to buy it but will wait a week or so to see if you happen to link it. Its exactly what I have been looking for as well. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

When I doing my dado cuts on my end pieces that's when I also cut in the recessed handles on all four pieces.

Wow - I loved this video. Thank you very much. Question - How well does that glue hold up after years of being outside? And no screws? Many thanks.

Hello Scott, I would like to ask your help with something wood-shop related. I put together my entire flow hive 2 and messed it up in a couple ways. For one, i stripped out a couple holes and am going to try adding a toothpick to help correct it. Yet I would like to ask help with another mistake I made. I did not use 90* angle corner clamps to make sure they set straight, and now the my base and two brood boxes don't line up with one another. So I have taken them all apart, order the brasses, yet don't know how to correct the screw holes that are already set? I feel like even with the brasses intact, the screws are going to go right back into the same hole pattern and the boxes will again be off centered. Someone told me I could try to slightly bend each screw. Or should I add toothpicks in all the holes then try to re-screw? What would you recommend? It would be so helpful to hear back from you. This is a project that is very important to me, as you well know. Thank you so much. Brad

What about cost of glue and staples you used? Oh and cost of electrical currents plus the time being spent!

Do you not need to make up the dado cut for the long sides?

Ok - I had to listen again. But to be clear, are you using the same dado blade for the rails and corners? Or two different blades. I'm from the south and a little slow. Many thanks.

Which length of board is the best to get the most boxes out of with the least waste
