Building an Old-fashioned Beehive - FHC Farm Bulletin #5

In this Farm Hand's Companion Farm Bulletin #005, an old-style way to build a beehive (or bee "gum" as they're called) is demonstrated, as Pa Mac builds and installs one at the Heritage House Museum's outdoor farm exhibit in Mt. Ida, Arkansas. (https://mountidamuseum.org)
