Beehive Construction

Beehive Construction

If you enjoy woodworking, you can save money and have fun making your own bee hives. This printed book teaches you to make bee hives with a table saw using regular and dado blades.  The book covers bottom boards, shallow, medium and deep supers, inner covers, telescoping outer covers and Hoffman style frames. Plans are included for a simple finger jointing jig, plus other jigs to help efficiently cut multiple parts. 8 1/2" x 11". 23 pages.

Note: Because 8 and 10 frame hives differ mostly in width, this book contains similar information to Making the Eight Frame Hive.
