There are a number of reasons why we need to know how to build a beehive stand. These are only necessary in certain areas, and there are different reasons why they are necessary.
A brood box with a lid and bottom board is only about 14 or so inches off the ground. A hive that is on the ground will necessitate that you either bend over the hive – and that messes your back up a lot – or you have to kneel, which messes up your knees.
You can attach a few legs to the pallet, or just prop it up on cinder blocks. Scratch around on construction sites – you may have to swop a bottle of honey or two with the builders and you will get a heap of pallets.
