Hal explains the subtleties of log hive construction. I'm in the process of building my third log hive so I wanted to get some ideas on how to hollow out a log that tall. I realize now Hal's hive is a bit taller than mine will be. His hive measures about 8 feet. Mine will be 7 feet tall, but I'm adding a conversation feature...my three grand kids' faces will be carved into the log, with the mouth of each one being an entrance and/or vent into the hive.
There is some wind noise, but I think you can get the gist of the conversation.
