Finishing the Practice Log
The small cedar round has been transformed into a prototype hive. After crosscutting away a lid and base, the center of the log was removed in a rough square with a shoulder for top bars with comb. Rebar was used to hold the base and box together, as well as raise the hive from the ground.
Annotating Bibliography
The wrest of my time this week was spent thoroughly reading through some of the sources in my bibliography. I wanted to pull one quote from each paper so I can keep their contents in mind while I work on writing a rough draft of my paper.
Take a look at the bibliography page to see some defining quotations regarding aspects of honey bee nest-cavities and the effects they have on their occupants.
