I've decided to put together a series of short videos on frames and frame assembly to help new beekeepers better understand the options and assembly methods. The first clip is an overview of frames -> http://robo.bushkillfarms.com/frames-and-frame-assembly/ |

Excellent. It is often hard to explain them with text, but the video makes it clearer. |

Rob,
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed these they are great. I would love to see how to put the wax in the frame for comb honey, if you do another. I am sure all who watch these learned something.

Rob, very nice video's, I even learned some thing from these (perma comb and supercell parts) plus totally agree on the Duragilt part, but the main thing I want to learn is where did you get that shirt in the last video? looks like you just come from the 60's  ,, cant wait to see the sequels, very nice Job, like said above you should charge for a video like this, nobody else even makes them like what you covered, just something for you to think about..... |

Robo, you should do one also on the frame I think is the easiest and best for wood and wax people, the new Kelly frame, it is so easy to install the wax without having to use a wedge. http://go.netgrab.com/secure/kelleystore/asp/product.asp?product=266 |

I also just made the frame jig yesterday, you were so right, I had one of them convaluted spring wing dings. They are a pain compared to the one you have, took me all of an hour to make it. Fast, easy and no hassle to use. Right on! Thanks!!!

Went to Harbor Freight yesterday and bought an air stapler and a box of 5000 staples. My son and I whipped out 50 brood frames in no time today. No more nails here...LOL. My wife says I will have more time for the recliner now...LMAO. I'm thinking -- wonder what I can build now...
