How to Build, Wire and add Foundation to Layens Beehive Frames

This video demonstrates my steps for building Layens beehive frames, from raw lumber to a completed frame with foundation. This build is based on plans from horizontalhive.com (not a sponsor). See links below for downloadable free plans. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: As a commenter has pointed out, and I have confirmed, you should not wear gloves when working with a table saw. I apologize for my own poor example. I posted this video to teach a skill, but I've learned something, too! Images with frame measurements are from the plans available at horizontalhive.com Plans for the frames, assembly jig, wiring jig, and other items are available at: https://horizontalhive.com/how-to-build/hive-frame-swarm-trap.shtml If you find value in my videos would you partner with me and provide support as a Patron?
