For the full overview and cut list of how to build an 8 Frame Langstroth Hive check out our blog post - https://www.revivalwoods.com/blog/201...

Building a beehive is one of the most rewarding woodworking projects. We built several 8 Frame Langstroth hives for our bee yard (apiary) from materials at the local lumber store. While the 10 frame hive is more commercially accepted, the 8 frame hive can be made efficiently from 8' boards. By following our cut list, you can make 4 boxes from 3 8' boards and build beehives cheaper than you can buy! We built the brood boxes, honey supers, solid bottom board, inner cover and a fancy gable outer cover. Just add bees!
