Grumpy Bees Get A SURPRISE!

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the assembly of the wooden frames. Each frame consists of a top bar, two side bars, and a bottom bar. The top bar has a T-shaped cross-section, while the bottom bar is flat. He advises that the 'T' goes to the top, and the flat piece goes to the bottom. The side bars have a skinny portion and a fat portion; the fat portion goes to the top. The components are simply pressed together to form the frame. The video shows how a plastic foundation is slid into the grooves of the assembled frame.

Goal: Assemble the individual wooden frames for the beehive.
