Pimp my hive!

[Brosville]

A perfect sunny morning was enjoyed in a Sussex garden (light breeze, Agnus Dei thundering out of the (solar powered) shed sound system)- and I was able to finish "pimping my hive"

I tend to squirrel things away on the theory that "it'll come in useful one day" - and when I needed waterproof coating for the roof of my new bait hive, my eyes lit upon the checker plate (50p from a boot fair) -so the whole thing stands me in at about a fiver!....

Blingtastic. That is a serious gansta hive.

Well done.

I'm not into top bar hives but that one's smart enough to almost tempt me.

Brilliant effort!

Our association purchased some hives from a retiring beekeeper"
They were national, the roofs being clad in copper sheet to the same pattern as yours .
The roofs didn't need strapping down but handling them required the deployment of a hernia truss
They were phased out for being too heavy .
Thinks , I wonder where they're stored ??
Must be worth more than we paid for the coloniies .
