養蜂ガイド#03 - DIYで格安で簡単にニホンミツバチ用巣箱を作ろう！

In this third installment of the Japanese Honeybee Beekeeping Guide, we cover how to build your own stacking-box hive (Jubako-style). Store-bought hives typically cost around ¥5,000–¥10,000 each, but with DIY, you can build one for less than half the price in materials. This video walks you through every step of building the classic stacking-box hive used in Japanese honeybee beekeeping — from choosing materials to assembly and finishing touches. The design is beginner-friendly: all you need to do is drill holes and drive in screws. Start by watching the video, and if you'd like more detail, be sure to check out the blog posts below. Here's the blog post with full build instructions. You can also download a reference diagram for requesting cuts at your local home center. 👉 https://risingdragonhoney.com/buildin...
