Description

Welcome to
Top Bar Hives

The subject for this discussion list is the construction and management of Top Bar Hives and other alternative hive types for beekeeping.

The only reason membership is restricted, is that we try to keep spammers at bay and reserve the right to expel troublemakers from the list.

Some good TBH ressources are:

John Satterfield's site about TBH beekeeping
John's Beekeeping Notebook, Top Bar Hive Beekeeping
"California style" TBH's
Hirschbach Apiary
Top Bar Hive Construction by Dennis Murrell
David Tromp

Re: Queen Excluder
Hi Earl -- I suspect that what you saw was called a "follower board". I have never found a need to exclude the queen in a top bar hive - she doesn't
