That is some real nice plywood, expensive too. Here on BYH we have a tendency to admire things that no normal person would ever even think about.
Plywood scraps--OOOOOOHHHHHH PRETTY!!!
Hay string-I didn't know it came in BLUE!!
Zip ties- @Weldman said use the black ones
Load of rock for the driveway mudhole-I'm so jealous.

I wouldn't normally use that nice plywood for a hive box. It's the extra from the dresser cabinet Dale is building... it is pretty...

I have blue hay string....lol

I have hay string in red, blue & orange. Some of these trailer loads have 21 bale "bundles" and they use a really heavy twine, it's also blue usually. Once some was white. About 3-4X thickness of the bale string and it's about 35' long real good stuff there!

We're really odd for items to make us happy

We're simple folks.

"You're not throwing that away, really?

Can I have it?"


I was "Green" before the term was coined.

Hay string --
Why do I have such a hard time throwing it out??? I've got LOTS.

Now I have a useful rope of blue, orange and yellow twine and a cute bag to boot! Thank you @SageHill!

 

[SageHill]

Now you've got some pretty colored hay twine!!

I do and I love it! Thank you!

I like braiding the colors together. It not only is a stronger "rope" but it is pretty too!

And uses up a little bit of the tons of twine.

Just finished painting! I can't wait to get this set up and established!

49° and the girls are out and about. We just checked the hives, wanted to see what progress they'd made on the pollen patties and the banana. I should have checked the patties to see if they were still moist. It will have to wait until the next check.

Swarm hive hasn't touched theirs. I discarded it.

Hive #2 is working on theirs.

Combo hive has pretty much devoured theirs.

They all seem to still be working on the pollen patties.
