Beekeeping jobs backing up in the workshop

I’m starting to back up jobs in the workshop… I brought home another two roofs I’d replaced today so now I have four to be repaired. They all need new sides. I’m sure I have some offcuts of cedar gravel boards that I can plane down to do the job. I also brought home hopefully the very last UFE that still needs a vaping rim having moved a colony off it today. I’m starting to pile up a fair bit of old wax from combs I’ve decided are beyond use, so I ought to get on and build a new solar wax melter. Another thing that came back with me today was a poly brood box that I’d repaired sufficiently using car body filler last year to be usable, but not even got as far as sanding it smooth let alone repainting it before it needed to be used, so that’s on the list. And I’ve all but run out of clear crownboards and fat dummies. Nucs and nuc UFEs are on the agenda at some point, but I’m ok for now. I think that’s all for the moment.

The one thing I’ve not had to do so far this year is make frames: I got through assembling quite a few of those last year.
