Beekeeping

Finished some aluminum work on a few traps, using scrap.

Got a call from a fella I sold hives to this winter. He bought hives and frames from another builder, and the frames are ****... So I'll be building 50 for him to replace them.

From squirrels? Yup. I now use 1/16" thick aluminum angle pieces
While I have had issues with those annoying brown speed bumps, I am more interested in preventing damage from separating the boxes, normally the corners.

Separating boxes, you mean supers?

If so, we don't have supers... We have one box. No supers. No lifting. No separating

I guess that does reduce the likelihood of damage, does the bees not propalize the cover shut?

It's 80F and sunny, so I hung 5 swarm traps in a 20 mile radius. All areas have provided swarms for us in the past years.
