Apr 27: Nailing the WBC

William Broughton Carr designed a beehive in 1890 which is known as the WBC. It's the one that 'looks' like a bee hive, even though most bees are kept in the less aesthetic National type hive. Our hive is a WBC, bought 'flat' so all the assembly is down to us, err, me. Here, I'm nailing the corners of the 'lifts' that make up the outside of the structure.
