I Have Too Many Bees
Michael Bush:
How high off the ground is the bottom box? A short stand can buy you one or two boxes...
The15thMember:
I just use two cinder blocks. Some of my stands are partially buried in order to level them.
Michael Bush:
A cinder block is 8" tall. A two by is 3-1/2" tall. A medium box is 6-5/8" tall. Basically if you drop it to 3-1/2" tall you'll gain one box.
The15thMember:
In my climate wood is not an option. Even pressure treated lumber will only last a few years in contact with the ground. But I could probably use half-height cinder blocks.

Paver stones would work but they might be costly.
