I made a deep Langstoth box, then I cut it in half and made two 5-frame nuc hives. 100% recycled wood except the frames shown. Painted with boiled linseed oil, the 'white' is zinc oxide mixed in, and the green is green iron oxide and zinc oxide mix. Migratory type covers, no inner. Cleat handles after it was painted so a dado could be cut so they could be glued. Glued and screwed throughout with some dowels to align the panel pieces. More in ALT.
