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.
