Hi there everyone

Good sized hive stands. A particular design you found online or of your own making.

Well not sure what the weather was like with you guys but here it was about 11 to 12 deg . went to take the dog out for a walk at the forest and decided to check on the bees on the way and this is what I saw



A nice sight to see for me anyway as this is just my 1st year still, Loads more to learn BUT very eager to learn.

Well after the last few days of rain and drizzle. I popped up to see how the bees were and to my astonishment they were out in force, temp was 10° and wind about 10 to 12 mph. Sorry if I am boring you with these videos but as my first year I want to document as much as I can and then I have something to refer back to next year ect etc

Anyway I hope you like the video and please let me know if your bees are flying as strong ??

Two quick observations ...

Firstly I've got more standing water in one of my apiaries after the rain of the last couple of days
Secondly ... and more significantly, your hives look to be beyond the 'fulcrum' point of whatever of the stands (wrong name I'm sure). What would happen if you removed one hive and the other had 200 lb of honey in the supers? I'd centralise them over the place where the legs of your rather nice have stands are connected.
Cheers
