Thinking of the cost of planed lumber...  I have given up on the lumber yard
and use rough sawn lumber of a local saw mill.  I buy air dried pine that is
a real one inch thick.  It provides a much sturdier hive body ( and nuc
box ) than the finished 3/4 inch wood.  Besides that, a 1 X 10 is a real ten
inches wide.  I am able to get a deep hive body from one of these rather
than having to buy a finished 1 X 12 that I much rip down at a lumber yard.
I pay about $3.00 US for an eight foot board.
