Here is the back of our new hive.
Before the Bees can move in we need to build a deck or one of our little bees could fall out of the dining room doors...
Building a deck should be a pain free process. How many decking options can there be? Turns out, quite a few!! All you have to do is take a trip to Lowe's. One could get lost in the decking aisle. Thankfully, I had Honey there to guide me. There is so much to choose from. Regular wood boards, composite deck boards, railings, post covers, balusters, and post caps just to name a few. I am learning so much I could be a deck saleswoman!
One thing we know for sure is that we are going to go with composite boards just for maintenance reasons. I do not care for the price but I know in the future going with composite will save us Bees a lot of splinters and headaches. We are thinking about going with a brown color for the boards. Maybe something like this color...
We will probably choose the same color for the railing but may mix things up a bit with the balusters. Honey and I both like black. This photo I found while browsing the Internet really caught my eye.
I am not sure if it would look right on our house though. We need to choose all these items soon, but I will have to admit both Honey and I are a little overwhelmed with all the choices. I will be sure to "cover" what we chose in a later "post"!
