Uninhabited by bees....even my best hives don't require a stack of 9 supers.....
Filled with a mixture of drawn and undrawn frames, most of which miraculously survived....their survival by the boxes shattering and taking the brunt of the fall.
My own fault should have had them ratchet strapped together...it's is a problem with poly supers they are very light compared to wooden ones and I wasn't expecting a strong NE wind today, that usually stays around Teesside.../wry grin/
Looks worse than it is...... all will be repaired....just knocked the hell out of any resale value...

Got some 3 old ply brood boxes brought back home that have seen much better days. Will be replacing them with cedar boxes. Made a couple up, got another to do.

You need to host your pictures on a web site, imgBB is okay. Then you need to find the url (web) address of your photo and copy it.
Hit the image icon (picture with mountain) and paste between the brackets. If you go preview and can't see your image it's the wrong address Alas ImgBB gives several.
Another tip is (if using windows 10) open image and click on the three dots at the top right and choose resize and go for the smallest option. Otherwise your pictures can load as huge.
