Building a ZEST hive
The ZEST hive is unique among beehives due to its construction from insulating building blocks. While this makes it unsuitable for migratory beekeeping, it is probably the most insulated hive you can easily build yourself.
These videos show how I built my ZEST hive, more or less according to the instructions published by its inventor, Bill Summers. Future videos will show the hive in operation and how it differs from other hives in the way it is used by bees.

POLYN
polynuc-feeder-problem
The side feeders on Payne's polynucs are ok for syrup - as long as you line them with wax or paint - but not so good for winter feeding with fondant. Top feeders work better for syrup feeding during the warmer months, but again, not so well in winter for feeding fondant. Here's a possible solution I came up with.
