To provide a place for Discussion and Sharing of up-to-date Modern, tried-and-proven, Beekeeping Practices and Procedures using conventional hives to practice the art and skills learned in our day-to-day endeavors...all the while enjoying the experience, with the willingness to SHARE this knowledge with everyone interested in Modern Beekeeping.

This is not the forum to discuss the use of non-standard hives without easily removable frames that allow for ease of inspection.
