The beehives are pretty much finished. I need to seal the inside of the frame feeders and construct a comb holder for inspections, but the main hives are done. Yeah!

I attached the corrugated plastic roofs with some stainless fender washers and deck screws. The lids are really lightweight. I also branded the ends with the hive number. 08 for the year and 02 for the second hive.

A complete hive with the mite count board in place.

Here is a look at the inside. Follower board on the left, 19 bars, and the feeder with the fill hole corked, with some shims on the other side of that. The shims can be added to make the honey bars (vs brood bars) wider to accommodate the wider comb used for honey storage.
