Plans for a native bee hive

I'm attaching a simple set of photos with measurements for anyone who wants to build their own hives.   This is just how I build a standard OATH hive.

Okay - I changed the plan.  I used to put a bottom on the honey super.  It worked for me because I didn't harvest the honey.  I have now moved it to the middle box.  The middle box has both a bottom and a top now. Updated the text in the pic to reflect that.
