Day 10: Installing hive stands

Today we installed some hive stands that were built last week. They are made of concrete blocks, concrete, and metal rods (I forget what they are called at this moment). We used four of these contraptions to re-establish two top-bar hives that needed new stands. The previous stand was warped wood that was falling apart. We had to dig holes big enough for the concrete blocks to fit in. It was VERY hot and a sweaty job becuase we had to wear our suits while doing it.
