Hi guys,

looking for plans for making a observation hive plans as the title says! would like one that has 3 frames as think 2 frames is too small ? Can anyone point me in the right direction. Sorry if this have been asked before but did a search and it found nothing as I have some time on my hands over the next 6 weeks... and would rather make this than have the wife give me to many other jobs ;).

thanks in advance
Graham

you will have to adjust to your frame size....
yeah you need to have 3 brood frames - so you are flexible to replace/move frames as you like.

Hi Calum, many thanks for the reply and the link :D having looked at it I think I will have trouble following how it is made but I will try.
