Putting Frames Together...

[Bee-Key-Pur]

Does anyone really enjoy doing this?
I have put together hundreds so far and more to go and it's doing my head it in.
Is it just me?

I like the system of it - a sort of trance state and lots to show for it...but then I loved form filling when I was a civil servant!

I love doing this with my grandson. He passes me the bits and nails and tools, I assemble them.

He loves the idea of helping me, I love having him arround and something of value is produced.

What could be better?

 

[keithgrimes]

definitely therapeutic in a mindless way, like deadheading flowers.

Search Bee frame jig on g**gle and there is one that comes up from Bush kill farms.

it's a you tube vid frames and frame assembly part 4 i think, may help, watch to the end before you make your mind up.

1. Run a beginners beekeeping course
2. Have an extended practical session in frame building - you'll end up with a few duff ones, but it'll be worth it

Worked for our tutor anyway

I like the jig idea...
