So a couple weeks back I made a hive stand out of an old bed frame. The hive in that post had no bees in it… the hive with the bees was put on shipping pallets like these ones. Well there was a bit of an ant problem… they got in to the plastic board that fits inside the bottom board and made a nice little nest in there with piles of eggs. So this morning I cleared out the bee yard quite a bit (to make room for an electric fence) and I relocated the populated hive to the hive stand.
