Hi there! I am very interested in these. Does someone know why the external side of the boards is grey? Did the wood undergo some treatment? Thanks in advance for any piece of information!
Yeah. The main reason for this construction seems to be thick walls for insulation against the colder winters in the mountains. The smaller hive diameter also means the bees have less space to heat up and can pack themselves in tighter against the comb that is much closer together than in a Langstroth hive. So the bees are more resistant to cold, rain, wind, and invasion of pests. For American honeybees, which are generally more populous than Japanese honeybees, you might have trouble with them absconding due to lack of space. Otherwise is far less ideal than your "usual" Langstroth hive for general productivity in ideal climate
traditional? really? Just how long have the japanese had battery powered cordless drills? I did not know the samurai age had them as well as good swords.. hmmmm
Thank you, I really learned from you
I dont think so,,its like a hollow tree in nature.where bees prefer to live.....
So you just stack these and make a lid?
Why do you torch the inside and outside of the hive boxes?
simple & efficient !
Will this work the indian honey bee
Dark objects are what they sting first try mowing around them with a blackower see how it goes
Cool friend
