Beehaus legs speading under weight

Recommended Posts

I thought something did not look correct the other day, but this evening having just sold 2 nucs housed in the beehaus, so it is now empty.

 

But this has given me a chance to have a good look at after now 10 months of use.

 

On inverting the hive it is clear that that although the metal legs as securely attached to the grey plastic end sections, these end sections are flexing / have flexed due to in my opinion quite a light loading.

 

The hive had probably dipper near 1" at one end, and there is a good 1-2" of movement on the legs.

 

And I have at most only had 22 std national frames in and 2 supers (1 std national super) on top.

 

Apart from that noting else noted, but another inspection is due tomorrow of the empty hive.

maybe a couple of photos emailed to johannes so he could see what you mean...

 

Sadly my hive is not at full capacity yet so have not noticed anything untoward....

 

Please do let us know how you get on!
