Bee Club Bait Hive Project, 34 Bait Traps

For those in our bee club who bought bait hive kits, this is a demonstration on how to assemble them. Four guys in our bee club got together and organized a bait hive project. We met four or five times to work out details of how we would do it. There were 34 orders from club members for the bait hives. Marshall has a woodworking shop and he prototyped some traps and created a materials spreadsheet in Excel.
This design is based on plans from Mike Ferreri, (Mike, the Bee Catcher). He has his plans in a PDF at this location: http://www.columbianamahoningbeekeepe....
Members paid $16 in advance and Marshall purchased all the materials. Marshall, Paul, Greg, and Rex spent a Saturday in Marshall's shop and cut the wood pieces and wrapped kits. I think we were done by about 3:30 PM that day because Marshall had already cut some wood pieces.
