Hive frame holder

[birchdale]

I am thinking of making a holder, to attach to the side of the hive, to hold one frame during inspections. T****** sell one at a price. I did try those plastic 'over the door' shirt hangers but the hook over size was too large. Will save a little bit of bending at each hive! Anyone out there any ideas?????

Build them into your hive stands. This stand is big enough for two hives with room in the middle to hang frames.

Go to B&Q buy a lengh of metal strip bend to the same shape as th***** one
(The hooks) but instead of having a metal width bar , make a wooden bar and screw the hooks to it at the right distance apart for what ever hive u use.

It's light weight costs pence to make (Simples)

I lean the first frame against the Brood box.

Cost: Zero.
