I wish I had woodworking skills like you. It would have saved me a fortune.

Four screws short?

Very nice - well done

 

[Black Comb]

Well done. An excellent job.
May I make a suggestion for future construction?
That you make the roof deeper, your current one looks about 4"
6 or 8 " gives you better protection when you fit an eke and insulation.

Thanks for that I should have thought about that with the depth of the roof as I have had a eke on over winter, the stain that I used is just the same as my fencing so that it does,not stand out in my garden like a sore thumb,,,,

did you make the hive, or assemble a flat-pack one?
