I like the pine boxes as well and agree with everything that has been
said.  The only thing I have question with is I have never found a wild bee
hive in a pine tree.  They are always in Laruel Oak.  Swarms are in other trees
but never stay over a day or two.  You think that over the years we have been
putting them in Pine Boxes they would prefer Pine.
       Has anyone ever used Oak for the brood boxes?
