Beekeeping - A simple method for making starter strips on small frames @ Les Gold

In this clip I demonstrate a simple method for adding wax starter strips to small frames. The technique is very quick and does not require any specialised equipment.

Great work Les, we love your home made ways of beekeeping. Cheers for sharing.

Great video man thanks for sharing :)

Cheers. I hope it gives you a few ideas for use with your own bees.

Very excellent idea and great video! Any possibility of a video detailing how the round sections are packaged for sale once they're full?

[@lesgold2132]

Hi Nick. Thanks for that. At the moment I am using 240ml round takeaway containers. I am researching a bio plastic container at the moment

[@nicklawrence9886]

Thanks very much for the reply Les. Again, great video and I look forward to all your future content.

Hi Les what wood did you use to make your wood sections, and what was the source? Cheers nice instructive videos

Hi Mark. Sorry about the delay, I’ve been away for a few weeks. Timber used is untreated pine. Hardware stores often sell untreated pine that is non structural. It is an inexpensive way of obtaining timber.

I watched your video on mounting the square starter boxes in a frame. How do you mount the round ones?

Hi Suzanne. I have a video on that method. Just do a search, you should be able to find it
