My wife got me a Mini-Bee Hive with McGinty separation. When the box is full and strong, I’ll move the queen and stores to the top and slip in the separation and let the remaining hive make queens

Just when I thought I’d seen every kind of bee box!

In this configuration, yes., three entrances. And it uses mini frames.
did you enter flow frames in the hive?
These hives do not accept Flow frames.

Happy Father’s Day, my eldest so presented me with this beautiful work of art from a work mate. My son thought of me & got it for me for Father’s Day. The head swivels.
The bloke must have studied photos of bees, because he got the legs right with the way she stands. Plus the compound eyes.
I assume she’s standing on a blob of honey.

Yes I agree Dawn, I also noticed that. Most of it is old bearings & bearing parts. Every creation is a one off.
