I am living in a caravan for the next four weeks on a farm lambing..to kill a bit of time I am knocking super frames up and putting unwired foundation in them
..I have eighty to get through which will go with the 19 supers I already have full of drawn foundation..I nearly ran out of them last year so hopefully I will not this year.

Hmm I know of a Steve living in a caravan for a while whilst he lambs. Coincidence?

Looks like you'll be busy. I've been painting hives and nucs. Hoping to increase to 3 full size nationals and 2 nucs this season.

Been making up some transport boxes. Had the plywood cut a few weeks ago, just needed trimming and stapling together, floors and roofs adding

This is what Abelo poly supers look like after the wind has blown a stack of them over.
Some are now flat packed /wry grin/
Total disaster....9 broken...was like a a jig saw puzzle putting which bit with it's corresponding snapped off bit....
Still all are repairable, , some clamps, some gorilla glue and some very long wall screws to strengthen across the cracked surfaces.
Oh well I was wondering what I was going to do this week........
