Another great and easy way to make a nuc. You inspired me so much. Tomorrow I will do some Bruce's nucs. Thank for sharing your knowledge.

Дуже гарно вийшло. Вулики суперові

Hi Bruce, I like your pallet wood beehives, shows good stewardship. I love the little cartoon affect.🤓 Bees will glue up any of the drafts they want to inside anyway, not worries about cracks or holes. Ty for sharing your time Bruce, Blessed Days...

Thanks Bruce ! Seems nothing is wasted everything is transformed !

Always enjoy your DIY and in middle Florida! Just removed my first water meter swarm using a bucket head vac that I saw you explain…worked great, thanks. Im in the central part of Fla and if I ever get toward the east coast I’d like to stop in and say hi.

Nice job on this. That's how I do most of my equipment. If someone tries they really can save money. The Bee's won't mind at all. Good health and God bless 👍

Bruce, great job repurposing used pallets that would have otherwise been shredded for mulch. You are correct that as long as the inside spacing is correct the bees do not care what the box is made from. I feel that the bee industry is too commercialized with a lot of companies making money off of small town guys just trying to do their part to support the bee population.

Fabulous! I have been attempting over engineering, making boards all the same thickness & jointing the edges, checking with a metal detector for metal fasteners, but your success tells me I can avoid a lot of this work. I used to use a pry bar for disassembly like you do, but following various KZfaq video I now use a reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade to cut through the nails & then punch them out & this has increased the yield of good boards & reduced splits. For preservative I have good success with raw linseed oil, but that is in the uk with 30 + inches of rain per year & so may not be good for your climate. Thank you so much for sharing this super useful information & experience.

Great video Bruce! That's a good way to save some money! I've been trying to find a source of decent pallets close to me so I can use them to make medium supers.

High Quality Content! God bless your work, it is priceless in practicality ! Thank you i

Amazing job by the way

They look great Bruce

Great idea sir.

Excellent idea, thanks.

For ecowood application I use a disposable (plastic) concrete pan. Dip and rotate, do a deep box in 60 seconds.

Good one Bruce, thank you.

Small visit from Sweden to see what you do online :) A small tip could be that you make a jig that keeps the 2 card sides still on the table while you assemble the first side with boards. otherwise, it was a very good idea to use pallets, which are free and often available in abundance, and the spillage can also be burned in the winter. Hade :)

Bruce, big Mike here. Great video!

Thanks for taking the time to make the videos Bruce. Quick question if you happen to know the answer. Can you use bee wax and apply it on the wood to preserve it and or inside as a bait with a little lemon oil to catch swarms in the nuc boxes? Thanks hope your channel grows

Thanks for your sir

Great vid please get a impactor to shoot those scews a counter sinker bit is so nice to thanks for the tips and ideas you da man

I really enjoy your videos. What are the dimensions of the lumber that you're using to build these nucs? Length of sideboards?

What a great job mister Bruce. Thanks for sharing I can’t wait to build some. Thanks again

Pro tip: put a wad of propolis in the screw pilot hole. The friction will heat it up, and lock that screw in place when it cools.

I have the same router table. What about running the boards through to give them each a clean edge -like with a joiner- and then glue and clamp them together to make wide boards? You would still be left with one side that is flush which you could face inward. This way you could use the pallet wood for all four sides. The three larger pieces of the pallet can be re-sawn to make frames.

thank you sir very very nice video 🥰

Good cost effective way to knock out a few NUCs. My only concern especially for newbies and non tradesmen is the Severe Weather ground contact pressure treated 2x8 lumber. with the Copper, Chromium and Arsenic and other pesticides. I'll opt for the non pressure treated due to not wanting sick bees and industrial contaminants in the wax and honey. I'm not knocking the video since you did a great breakdown and tutorial, but would go with something a wee bit healthier.

A lot of work but worth it. Do you find the difference in thickess causes rain to try and get in the sides or do you put the thick sections at the top

Outstanding

I use my old scaffolding boards to build Lazutin hives.

Encontrei alguém que faz igual a mim aqui no Brasil parabéns estamos salvando muita madeira e economizando dinheiro

Thanks Bruce. What do you use to preserve to wood?

Surely you must have some spare wax somewhere to treat that saw bench top 😂

Bruce, do you mind if I translate some of your videos and use on my channel? I provide the videos with the links to the original ones and to your channel as I do with Bob Binnie's, Ian Steppler's and other beekeepers' channels.

What’s the the size of your pallet swarm trap

How do you know if a pallet has been treated with insecticide, fungicide or wood preservative? Wouldn’t it be toxic to bees?

Hay looks awesome & cheap to do . But what tipe of glue do you use I know some glue can be harmful to honeybees. I read that in one of my beekeeping books but I can't find it yet .

Aren’t pallets chemically treated?

do you add a hole? or subtract a hole? ;)

What's "tall earth"?

How many pallets you use? Bruce

Moscow ❤️

Pallet wood is mostly ash. Baseball bat wood.

Dip it in what? as a wood preservative.

Way cheaper to go to a saw mill pine one get a tree pack have it all cut to your size ie box and frames go 50/50 on tree miss the middle man.

The sounds of a screw head being rounded 😅... not music to my ears... you need to get yourself a fitting screw hex

Thanks to you

Uonly run 5 frame??

Use torx screws instead of phillips as they drive better
