Hi,

I'm new to this forum, and wanting to start keeping bees from next year. I'm in East Lothian.

Now in order to keep the initial costs down, I'm considering constructing my own hive. I've found a site which has a few ideas:

Basically there are 3 designs:

I was wondering if anyone had followed this route and had any good pointers.

Thanks

Mark
