This method worked for me.
In the picture of the modified deep super (MDS) you can see the frames from the nuc and next...

Hi Kathy,

I'll be interested to hear how it goes. Thanks for posting. It sounds like the bees will have to come down to exit the hive. I would not worry about the them finding the sugar.

Oldtimer,

Thanks for this and all your interesting posts. I really enjoyed the one on raising queens without grafting. I am a teacher and you happen to have all the signs of being a great...

I am about to set up my first Warre and have some vinyl coated polyester screen that we installed around a dog door in our screen door. Tough stuff. I would guess that a bee would not eat the vinyl....

I just heard back from the maker of the Warre hive that I am getting. He used to sell an adapter just like the one Zonker posted and I was set to try. Interestingly, he found that the bees would...

I am exploring the Warre method this year. In this management system, for those not familiar, bees winter in two boxes. (Note that a Warre box is about the size of a 5 frame nuc.) Then two empty...

I hear you. Not getting any office work done.

I think I am going the route of your last drawing. :thumbsup: Matches my carpentry skills.

For a needlessly complex but fun project, I might, at...

Zonker,

I like the simplicity of your new drawing. Since I don't own a nuc box, I might just make the board bigger and set my lang hive body on top. I just need to fill in the space on either side...

Thanks to all. Very helpful. I'll post back what happens

Sorry i don't know how to place the image in the post yet. please see attached PDF Thanks

Here is an alternative concept, but admittedly more work. Perhaps the odds are better if the bees work horizontally. I could place an “L” shaped insert in either back corner of the hive body. It...

Zonker,

Nice picture! I like the blocks in case of high winds. :D :D This design would sure be easy. I might place two following boards on either side of the five frames below so I could remove...

Zonker,

That would be great. I asked one Warre hive producer. He said they used to sell an adapter but it was not very successful, so they discontinued it. I have an inquiry in as to the design....

Odfrank,

Thanks for your reply. I agree a package would make more sense, but I already crossed that bridge, so to speak, and like Zonker who posts below, I would love to be able to get a local...

Hello,

I am a hobbyist with 6 hives this year. My stepfather has always had bees and used to take me in the hives. I was never very interested but once I had a family of my own, something drew...

Hello,

First, thank you to all the contributors to these forums. I learn a lot by reading your posts.

I am starting a Warre hive this year just for fun. I had already ordered a 5 frame Lang...
