  Here in Texas we could definitely use this but I add insulation to all my lids since our sun really adds a lot of heat.  Make sure to seal that cabinet plywood very well because it does not get along with moisture. But yeah I understand, since I have a half sheet of 3/4" cabinet plywood sitting in the shop and tend to use it for other things not cabinet related!  :)

  Well, it's about time someone decided that there are people that wood work in warm climates and keep bees!!  I love your modifications to the Layens type boxes.  They will do great here in Arizona!!

  Nice one, you could use your sawdust for 'sawdust rocket stoves'. Thanks for the video

  I really enjoy your content. I’m starting into beekeeping this spring and have 14 layers hives built and ready along with a bunch of swarm traps. Can’t wait!

  I was not going to make a non insulated one until this week reminded me I was not thinking about polar vortexes.

  I like this idea for plywood Layens hives, and this would work great for my zone. However, 3/4" plywood sheathing is right at $50 a sheet whereas 2x10x12 dimensional lumber is about $11 each (1x10 lumber cost about twice as much or more). So....unless I can run across some salvage plywood, I'll stick with 2x lumber. That is a great design though and thank you for these videos, they are very helpful.

  The 3/4 Layens Hive works great in Texas.
