Hive progress

Not too much to report on. We spent Saturday at the Borden's place. Ron and I went to the hardware store and picked up some stuff for the hives. Once we got everything together we headed back to the house and started pulling out all of the wood for the hives. It looked like quite an ominous task before us... there were literally hundreds of pieces of wood that all have to be put together. Once I had convinced Ron that I somewhat knew what the pieces were all for we got to work. We still have a bunch of work left before it is complete, but at least we have a start on it! So far we only have the frames (the part where the bees make the honey) glued, but I think that the rest of the project will go pretty smooth since we have a majority of the pieces glued at this point. If any of you decide to tackle something like this make sure you have ample room in the garage, and ample time on hand if completing the task alone. As for me, I had my son Brighten sorting the pieces and handing them to Ron, and then Ron setting the wood in place for me to glue and then we would assemble them together. We had a regular little sweat shop going! Brighten loved helping out, and he looks forward to the hives being complete so he can check out the bees. Well, that's it! We will be heading down next weekend to get them finished up, and I will keep ya posted on the outcome. Pictures should follow shortly...
