more clearer and comprehensive instructional video on making bee hive. many thanks to uploader JaiUneGuruDeja. I do appreciate your patience and hard work in taking photos and downloading the complete step by step process. Truly a Guro!
@giodazip Glad you enjoyed the music :-) The soundtrack consists of two songs: "I Can't Get Started " by Bunny Berrigan and his Orchestra (Victor-36208-A) and "Jumpin' Punkins" by Duke Ellington and his (Victor-27356-B). Bunny Berrigan played trumpet on the former.
also i would suggest that the handles use 4 screws rather than 2 Cause I read that the Brood Chambers can weigh in over 90 lbs. reason for the 4 screw handle is to make sure that the handles are strong enuff to handle the weight
@Primex007 Great suggestion. I got into beekeeping to just provide habitat for them. I wasn't thinking of the honey or how much it would weigh. Since them, I have learned that local honey can act like a vaccine for local allergies. So, I'll probably be stealing a little of it next spring after my bees have survived the winter.
@Primex007 I forgot to rout grooves for the handles. Good catch. You probably already noticed some other deviations from the traditional Langstroth plans. I used dovetail joints where they are not required just because I always wanted to make some. The roof section doesn't hold any frames - it's just a rec room that should provide a sanctuary of last resort. The key innovation is the 30-degree bevels on the edges between the levels to keep the wind and rain out.

might i suggest instead of routed grooves try handles from a hardware store cause thoses are going to be heavy where full of honey
