Someone on the forum mentioned that my 88 litre version of the Perone hive is too small and that it should be 100 litres plus. I have no more British National Boxes so I decided to make one to British National sizes. This ended up with internal dimensions of 42cm x 42cm x 19cm high, therefore a further 33+ litres. My Perone box will now be a staggering 123 litres, and that is without the supers!
I took all the slats off just one side of this old cement pallet.
Denailed the slats
Cut 4 lengths of 50cm, 4 of 42 and 4 of 19cm
Screwed the bottom parts together like so.
then added the top section. I had to true the last two sides up on the table saw so they were flush with the rest.
I have given a coat of Linseed mixture and hopefully tomorrow it will sit nicely under the bottom National Brood box of my Perone bait hive.
