How To Build Your Own Beehive (videos)

Not only for fixing broken stuff and making old look new, DIY ideas can also be really helpful in saving money and earning that extra cash. Building your own beehive, for sale or for keeping bees, could be a profitable project and also a healthy one, since you will have your own eco-friendly beehive to gather all-natural bee products for your family. Yes, you can easily buy everything you need, but that’s not the point, and we assume you know that since you’re reading this article, right? DIY beehive has many more advantages.

All you need is a ¾” wooden board, nails, and waterproof glue. You can use any type of wood as long as it’s solid, wholesome and not damaged. Also, try to find wood as straight as possible.

First, you need to ensure that all the corners are completely paired. When you are sure all the eight corners are matching, apply the glue and connect the joints. Use the waterproof glue for wood, as much as you need and maybe a bit more! When making beekeeping gear, it’s better to overglue it than to save on your glue and hence, your beehive quality.

 

Then, step by step, pair each corner. You can put a nail nearest to the paired corner to hold it in place until you finish nailing the rest of the joint. This step is crucial when you are working with a bent or concave wooden board. If you managed to find a straight one, this step should go pretty easy.

Also, when you’re attaching the upper corners of the supers, be careful to put the nail low enough to go to the wood and not the rabbet joint.

You can make a usual box joint and adjust it in a tab joint, to connect the deep super and the shallow supper. No extraordinary tools are required to make this joint and it’s almost as sturdy as the finger joints on professionally manufactured beekeeping gear.

As you can see in this beehive assembly diagrams, some of the dimensions may not appear clearly, but you are able to calculate all of them from the other directly written dimensions.

When the beehive is assembled, make sure you paint it with some quality latex paint. It’s recommended to use light colors such as white, because the hive will be less heated in the summertime. Use three or four layers of color, not less than two. The more quality color, the durable your gear. And the beehive is really small, so don’t be a scrooge!

With a quality exterior paint, you don’t have to protect the outer hive additionally. Some people like to put some sort of covering metal, but it’s not a necessity.
