Mine is basically the same with a few tweaks here and there. The finished platform is a touch over 73” and allows ample room for a test snooze position from my 6’4” friend lying diagonally.

After all, honey bees are one of the most important pollinators for our modern food system (and a great source of, errrm, honey). But many people are still very wary of bees - after all they sting like crazy, right? Well having been preparing for a few weeks now, I finally picked up my first bees over the weekend. I'll be the first to admit that I was more than a little nervous - but those nerves proved unfounded. The experience was a sheer delight and I'd recommend it to anyone. Anyhow - here's what installing bees was like for me: Beekeeping Research and EducationFirst off, I should say that I took a 12 week course a couple of years back on beekeeping.
