She advocates top bar hives. <br /><br />You might also check out <a href="www.biobees.com" rel="nofollow">The Barefoot Beekeeper website</a>. He has a bunch of downloads, including plans and how-to stuff. I look forward to hearing how it works out for you.Deus Ex Machinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425336387322313716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121288141677007319.post-21889312779517802132010-12-12T18:08:13.619-05:002010-12-12T18:08:13.619-05:00I stumbled upon this beehive idea in the Grit maga...I stumbled upon this beehive idea in the Grit magazine just the other day....<br />http://www.beesource.com/resources/elements-of-beekeeping/alternative-hive-designs/traditional-top-bar-hives-david-tromp/<br /><br />It talks about how much healthier this type of hive is for the bee's because it is geared more toward the natural flow for the bees...and its fairly easily made.<br /><br />Anyways it might be worth a look into. Lee and I are going to work on one as soon as the hustle and bustle of the holidays are passed.<br /><br />Better Luck next time aye.<br /><br />All the best,<br />LeighLeigh, Andrea Leigh Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627283116565322436noreply@blogger.com
