March 17th…Since it was my birthday, I skipped work to see how Brian was progressing on the faces.
The ‘quilt box’ has been added on top and Brian is figuring out what kind of carving he will add to the very top for the purpose of shedding rainwater and to add another uniqueness to my already different looking hive.
Here he describes what he has done and what is remaining to be done. He plans to be done in a week and that means I better get prepared for it…SOON!
Adventures in Natural Beekeeping 
It’s really coming on and great to hear about the process as well, thanks for asking about the chainsaw work 🙂 A very talented guy, you will have a real masterpiece for the next swarm of bees to come your way.
I was hoping to get video of the chainsaw work in action, but it wasn’t possible. 😦
Next time 🙂 Oh and Happy Birthday!
Why, thanks. It’s a big one but I’m not saying which ‘big one.’ 🙂
Its just amazing and great skill a real artist at work. It will be lovely to see it in place and populated. I wonder if the bees will use all the entrances.
I wondered about that myself. I’ve considered plugging up the bottom entrance until they had enough numbers to guard it properly. I think they will use the top entrance at first. That’s where the comb will start building from.
