The bees went intowinter looking really nice from this yard.
I have exactly ONE hive more than you.
That makes my opinion beyond question.
Here's my meager backyard beeyard...only 2 colonies; but 11 fruit trees that blossom nearly the entire year.
Winter is here, even on the W. Coast! Temps get to nearly 60 every day, so the bees do get flights in!! I've seen pollen coming in lately, my loquat is blooming and drawing the local feral bees in the late afternoon.
Nice looking hives and stands, Rex! What did you finish the outsides with?
Brian
Thank you very much!
Oil-based Spar Urethane; ~ 5-6 coats. Really gave a nice warm glow to the wood,. Before finishing, I painted each corner endgrain with TiteBoneIII. I wanted to go for as 'natural' look as I could get. Hotdipping is out of the question here!
Stands are 2 x 6 redwood, same finish. I threw a few coats on each stand; pretty much what was left in each of my cans...lol. We got lots of redwood here in California...
Can a little guy get in here??
