OJ Blount's Modified & Customized Beehive Assembly - Video #3.wmv

NEW NOTES to video. Modifications are always being made and prices change. The plans are still $15 with a SASE in the U.S. The complete hive ready made costs too much to ship so it is only available on location in lower Alabama. Mr. Blount is still willing to sell his special screen floor with 5/32 holes for $20 each with $20 S&H up to four. (The cleaning tray and landing board is simple metal easily acquired on your own.)

Mr. Blount just won a blue ribbon for his hive modification design. He was asked to submit photos of other people standing by hives done his way. Any of you who have done this, please send them along with your permission for publication. Thanks!

@hasdrubal121 - Thank you! My Dad is really making a difference in this world.

Seems like I  a great design. Think I would have made the landing board slightly sloped to drain away rainwater though.

Keep posting them videos.:-)

@Duboisi - I think he slopes the entire hive forward just a tad for that reason. Thanks for watching.

where does mr. blount get the 5/32 screen? I cant find it at Lowes. Thanks

[ArtfullyYours]

He orders it from McNichols 1-800-237-3820 and you can ask for what they sell him to get the right size and gauge. They won't sell just one so you'd have to get a full sheet which gives you 18. Mr. Blount could sell you just one or a few if you want.
