storage space

[Zweefer]

So i am cleaning out my garage, and have come to the realization that i have some extra space.  This will simply not do, for as we all know garages are meant to be filled to the point where a car will barely fit (sometimes not at all!). 

So, i am throwing it out there to all my new found friends here  what do you have for storage setups for your beekeeping equipment?

This is about the only thing I could find... http://books.google.com/books?id=_bO4AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA122#v=onepage&q&f=false

any other ideas? photos would be nice too

I just hang frames from the basement rafters and stack empty box's under the lean-to.

I thought that page looked familiar.  I have that issue, though I think that picture may be in a few different issues.

zweefer, i have several places for storage, one is in old milk house for the majority of my equipment, basement of the house (cooler) for plastic tubs of foundation, and a small room in the house for miscellaneous items i don't want in extreme heat and cold or the mice to chew on...i store my extracting equipment in that room, coveralls, gloves, veils,  all sorts of stuff.  here is a pic of half the milk house, was going to post this on my own thread, still can, you guys will laugh at how organized this is now.......it wasn't and hasn't been for about 2 years.....spent 4 days getting it there....

looks nice River!

thanks zweefer. what's nice is having an indoor storage area, many beeks don't have this luxury.  this building stays very cool during summer months.  in the majority of those boxes are drawn comb, and a couple with sealed frames of honey in deeps i use to feed back to the bees.

How many working hives do you have now Riv?

[Zweefer]

I didn't mean to ignore you Finally Home. 
That is quite the collection!  your library must be a delight to browse - and to find it so fast... you  are better organized than me.  thank you so much for sharing!

   Currently I use a run in shed for storage. Suits etc go in the garage.   Eventually it will get closed in, concrete poured etc..  WAY too many projects going to even think about getting that finished..
   Plans are on the table to build a new candle shop, the basement of which will be for bee stuff..  wood shop/honey extraction/wax processing/storage and a small room set up for doing cell punch..  grafting if I can ever figure out how to make my hands a LOT more steady than they are now.   With luck that will happen before I get a chance to worry about improving the run in shelter.

I store them in my workshop along one wall.  However, I am going to run out of room very quickly.
