Build It Days

Are you a new beekeeper and want some help building your first hive? We periodically offer hands-on classes in Eagle and East Boise. Bring your hive hardware kit and learn the tips and tricks of assembly. Experienced builders will be on hand with all the right tools and experience so you walk away with completed hardware, ready to paint or treat for your bees this spring. Here are some pictures from our Winter Build-It! days!

Psst |
Looking for a cheap crockpot to process wax with? Need a saucepan for a double boiler? Your local thrift store (e.g. Idaho Youth Ranch) is a great source for stuff to process honey and wax that you don't mind getting messy or risk ruining.
Also you can get cheap lumber for hive stands and whatnot at the ReStore and some big box store remnants sections. Beekeeping does not have to bee expensive! |
