The resource hive arrived in a timely manner and appears to be of outstanding quality! I have not put it together yet nor painted it but will do so before needed in the spring. Can't wait!!
Very smart design of the resource hive, allowing for flexible configurations- you can keep 19 frames, 2 nucs of 4 frames or 3 of 3. I have similar design, but this one has double screened board , which can be used in other applications.
I suggested making holes in the top inner cover to allow for mason jar feeding in the nucs below. My suggestion was very well received. Very happy with the purchase
Bought one back in February thinking it was cool and I may need someday. Well, it's already paying off 2 months into bee season. Currently have 3 new queens building up--plan on using for extra resources of in case I need for a replacement hive. Well made and versatile.
I installed two nucs in this hive. I had to add a spacer onto the brood box so I could use a feeder until I could place the nuc boxes on the brood box.
