Building Layens horizontal bee boxes

We’re building deep-frame Layens horizontal bee boxes, based on Dr. Leo Sharashkin’s design and plans. These boxes are the insulated version, and we take you through the process and some of the pitfalls. As we prepare for Spring, this is an exciting development in our homesteading plans. We get prepared for capturing bees with Layens swarm hives and transitioning the frames to his insulated bee boxes. These boxes can take up to 20 frames but only require the removal of a lid to both maintain and extract the honey!! It may be the perfect design for a homesteader looking to add this production and pollination resource to the small farm. Come check it out. For the plans, see www.horizontalhives.com.
