Warre Bee Hives

From 2012 to about 2017, I was very interested in bees and building beehives. I built approximately 20 hives during that time, all in a Warre style. Several of the hives were built in an octagonal shape using a custom angled finger joint jig that I designed. I sold six of the hives and traded four of them for goats and cows.

I built the hives out of pine, cedar, oak, cypress, and sassafras. My favorite material was the cypress: strong, yet light and durable.

I have since moved on from beekeeping, but it was a great adventure while it lasted!
