We are presently preparing a few photo how-to blogs covering our way of doing a few basic bee things. we hope that the first will be ready to upload by the weekend.
There will also be a photo diary of our queen rearing method starting from making our own wax cell cups right through to the 'finished product'; the mated, laying queen.
The photo above shows one of our 13 frame brood chambers which measure 20" X 18.5" externally. These boxes allow us to use British Standard frames with modified dadant floors/supers/roofs etc. Fantastic boxes which we really enjoy working with.
This one was actually a md brood that has been cut down (perhaps the bottom was damaged) and had extra internal walls added on the long sides to accommodate the BS lugs. You can still see the original md frame rebates in the end walls.
