More beehive repairs

I’m not entirely sure where the time went today, but a fair bit of it was spent working on more beehive parts. I filled a few dents in some poly brood boxes and repainted them (and in a poly roof), oiled the “vaping rim” that I added to a UFE and finished converting the four section boxes into two bait hives (mostly by gluing one on top of another and then gluing in a rail to support frames). I’ve completely ignored bee space issues with the latter on the grounds that they won’t be in the box long enough for it to become a problem. As the boxes are very old, I also oiled them to help keep the water out.
