it ok hiding feeders ,,super, brood and frames because they just merge into the beekeeping equipment that i store in my garage, because i havemade up boxes and transferred a lot of equipment to my three apiaries over the past month

So when SWMBO pops in to the garage to bring me a cup of tea it will look just like it did last spring , al neatly stack flat packs ready to be made up~~~~~but what can i do with the Pallett before she spots it when she does the Washing at the weekend

Paint the pallet with wood preserver and call it a hive stand.

Tell her you found it and you're building her a strawberry planter from it.

Pallets make great hive stands. I put them under the usual stand to keep it off the ground so the legs are out of the wet. If the subject comes up you are saving money.

Now I know why my orders are taking longer. They had to print the labels. Doh.

Saw pallets used in crete this year as wall baskets they looked fantastic in the light blues and yellows.

I wouldn't use them again. Husband made me hive stands out of hardwood pallets and they sagged last year to such an extent that we had to prop a couple of hives up underneath with breeze blocks.
We have to reinforce them this winter.

I caught a swarm, and placed a hive directly under the tree on top of a pile of pallets.
I was in no hurry to move it, and a month or so later, the weight of the honey and the position of the hive broke the pallet.

buy more stuff from thornes, and when you have four pallets make a compost bin.

my stuff gets delivered to work, and I take it straight to the workshop in the company van without it going home!

You can make very strong stands out of pallets.

Take them apart and use the wood.

Better with wood presevative . Agree also good for compost bins.

Pallets can be turned into almost anything even a gate for one of your apiary

tell her you rescued it from a building site and intend to 'recycle' it into hive parts.............thus explaining the hive parts she may stumble across in a few weeks

Mine arrived Friday SWMBO's day off!!

Fortunately he was here early and considerately put it all in the outhouse (I'd put that as an alternative in case I was out) slipped a note in the door and didn't even knock - or maybe Gill had given them special instructions!

But I'm sure I didn't order that much stuff - they must have been over generous with the shredded cardboard packing .

Arrived last Wednesday.
