I am about to transfer my newest nuc(deeps) to a hive body. I have all mediums but ended up with this deep Nuc.... All of my equip is eight frame. In order to utilize the 10 frame deep on the eight frame equip. I had to fill the space in the deep to adjust to eight frames. Now I can use the eight frame SBB, hive stand, and add the eight frame med for the second brood box, hopefully soon after. I plan to swithch everything over to the Mediums at the end of the season..Will need help with that later.
Question is, I did not have any pine handy so I cut a piece of texture 1-11 plywood to use as one wall of the hive body. Before I attach it, I question whether it is ok in a brood chamber or should I go buy a piece of pine? I was concerned about the plywood resins ...
Also I am not a carpenter so there are very slight openings along the edges. I do not want to put caulk in the hive body but I need to seal the edges with something. Any ideas?? a thick bead of glue may do it.
