    Absolutely amazing video. If the boxes were new, would the soaking in wax and linseed oil without painting be enough for the hives to last in the elements?

    Old bee boxes -
    I was told by an old timer, that the rickety 'bout to fall apart boxes where the best because no one would steal them.

    To increase efficiency: while waiting for the boxes to get ready, have a beer… or two

    Hey, is there a part 3 to the lead Viking videos? You showed videos of making it, then bottling it, can't find a end result video. Keen on trying it myself. I think the videos were episode 46 and 48?

      It’s a pick up machine for the almonds. You can see what in action in our almond harvest video: ruclips.net/video/0rNV-N82TMU/видео.html

      To protect the bees from the summer sun.

    Mate, get rid of the timer and wait for the foaming to stop or at least slow down, before you remove the boxes. The foam is caused by moisture leaving the wood. The wax looked to be too cold when you started because, it generally foams instantly if the wax is up to temp. The idea of the process is to drive the moisture out, leaving hot dry voids, allowing the wax to soak into the wood before it cools too much.,

    Why don’t you wax dip all the parts separately the. Assemble the box as you could fit maybe 10 times as many disassembled boxes into the vat as assembled

    Sorry, call me stupid but you wax dipped the boxes and then painted them? I didn't think that the paint would adhere to the wax??

    • @beeman1246
      @beeman1246 3 года назад +1

      Must apply oil paint when hot.
